| 专辑 | After The Show |
| You must be crazy to stay here, | |
| and I'll be crazy when you go; | |
| though there's so much I want to tell you | |
| all the words come out too slow. | |
| I've been locked in my problems, | |
| you seemed prepared to wait... | |
| now that I know I'm going to lose you | |
| all the words come out too late. | |
| There's no promise I can give you | |
| that you wouldn't know was fake; | |
| though I just want to be with you, | |
| there's no show that I can make. | |
| And in the morning, when I wake and find you dressing | |
| I can tell that it's on your mind to go for good; | |
| I know that all this time I've kept you guessing, | |
| but I'd tell you if I could. | |
| If I now said that I loved you | |
| how would that seem in your eyes? | |
| Oh, may my voice fall into silence | |
| if my words turn out to be lies. | |
| I never meant to hurt you, | |
| even though that's what I do – | |
| even though you might not believe this | |
| all my words were meant for you. | |
| There's no promise I can give you | |
| that you wouldn't know was fake; | |
| though I just want to be with you, | |
| there's no show that I can make. | |
| And in the evening, when we sit and watch the TV | |
| I know that all this silence just won't do me any good | |
| and I want to beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me... | |
| oh, I'd tell you if I could, | |
| I'd tell you if I could. | |
| You know, you know, you know she's going to leave you, | |
| You know, you know, you know she's going to go, | |
| You know, you know, you know she's going to leave you. | |
| I'd tell you if I could. |
| You must be crazy to stay here, | |
| and I' ll be crazy when you go | |
| though there' s so much I want to tell you | |
| all the words come out too slow. | |
| I' ve been locked in my problems, | |
