once love walked out the door
I gave it all and it took some more
and now I find it hard to see
that you could make me feel this free
but you do and that scares me
‘cause when I trust you
that’s all I can bare
and my wall comes crashing down
and all I’ve got is this silent sound

will you love me when I make you cry
will you love me if I ask you why
will you love me when I get old
will you love me when I don’t even know

‘cause I’m doing the best that I can
yes I’m doing the best that I can
and if I’m doing the best that I can
I know it’s a matter of time
I’ll get it right

I know your expectations are high
and maybe they should
I know you’re looking to be inspired
I try so hard, baby I do

sometimes I hide in the past
‘cause it’s so hard to change
will you hurt me after I give you
my stars on a silver chain

will you love me when I make you cry
will you love me if I ask you why
will you love me when I get old
will you love me when I don’t even know

‘cause I’m doing the best that I can
yes I’m doing the best that I can
and if I’m doing the best that I can
I know it’s a matter of time
I’ll get it right

I can’t explain my laughter
but I sure feel the pain
when I see you crying
I know I’m the one to blame

‘cause I’m doing the best that I can
yes I’m doing the best that I can
and if I’m doing the best that I can
I know it’s a matter of time
I’ll get it right
