We can't be too much different you and me
Because we both want something we can't own
Let's don't start something we both know can't be
Oh I beg you please leave me alone

I hear a thousand strings when you come home
Your look tells me you hear the same sweet song
It's hard to turn from something you want most
But I beg you please leave me alone

I'll stay out of your way if you'll stay out of mine
I'm sure this feeling we shared is gone
I know we'll both be better off in time
So I beg you please leave me alone
