Sometimes you wonder
Whether you should carry on
And sometimes you call
And I tell you “be strong”

And sometimes you shout
But I know you don’t mean it
And sometimes you cry
And you don’t want me to see it

Sometimes the lights
Are darker than normal
And sometimes you pick something
To wear, all formal

Sometimes I tell you there’s no need
Sometimes you shout and scream and plead
And sometimes the things you say make me very afraid
Because I think you’re going to leave me
And I couldn't live that way

So please listen, darling
Because although it may not show
Whatever you’re going through
I care
And I know
