"When You Bear to Care"
If I told you that I was sad,
Would you really care?
Even if my sorrows,
I never seem to share?
It's because I see your pain--
And I sit there and listen.
The last thing any of you need to hear from me,
Is what my life is missing...
There is enough sorrow--
In your world already.
So, I'll keep my sorrows,
Even if they are too heavy...
I seem to care a little too much,
That it leads my life to drama and such...
That the pain I already have plus yours,
Is really too much.
And only time will tell if I can help--
With my heart, my touch...
Until then, my heart,
It stops beating...
On days like this,
When caring seems defeating...
Until time shows what's to come of--
All of this sorrow...
I will try to hold tight to--
Believing that things will be better tomorrow...
But, until then,
I'll just have to wait...
Until time can empty or clear,
This precious yet heavy slate!
So, would you care--
If I was sad?
Even if I knew your life--
Was going a little bad?
Why would I want to add to your pain?
I will just let my caring drive me insane!
