Oh My Love

She wrote to me and said in a letter
That she wanted to see if she could do better
She thought that she could if I only Id let her
And thats where she stood for worse or for better
And I couldnt argue cause deep down I knew
As much as it pained me, well, I felt it too
And, oh, my love, weve got to be more careful in the future
And , oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it out
Yesterday I found a picture of me
When I was a baby and I was to be
A man with no home
Adrift in the sea
No plan of his own
So careless and free
It makes me sad but then deep down I know
That all is not lost and theres still room to grow
And, oh, my love, weve got to be more careful in the future
And, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and get it out
We could be lovers or we could be friends
Smother each other, but thats how it ends
Could be the wrong words that mean everything
Like two lonely songbirds that dont want to sing
And its hard to swallow but deep down inside
I know that its true and cant be denied
And, oh, my love, weve got to be more careful in the future
And, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it out
And Im so proud of the way we face the truth about our future
And, so, my love, what will we do without it
Do without it
