What would you do
Were you in my shoes?
Would you try and work it out
Or would you sit and sing the blues?

Everyday I wonder
Why I hold on like I do,
Why I don't just walk away,
If your love is really true.

You tell me that you love me,
Yet it's others you must see.
Can't you just make up your mind,
Or do you like to torture me?

I used to cry at night
But the tears no longer fall
My feelings I conceal
Around my heart I've built a vault

No more tears,
But lots of fears
And then, "I'm sorry."
Is all I hear

But now there's "Darling Mike" you see
And those are only words
And someday you might realize
The pain you give to me
