The Backyard Of My Life

If You Can Tell Me



If you can tell me what i want to know
Show me whats inside your heart
If you can give me something real
Then maybe i wont have to go
Then maybe i wont have to go

If you can tell me why i ought to stay
Let me see how much i mean to you
If you can promise to leave the lies behind
Then our love wont fade away
Then our love wont fade away

Every time you spin a line I've heard it all before
Its a requiem for a dream
When you've never seen the key to the door
Every time I've changed my mind i live to regret
I don't know why i keep you on
I wish we never met

If you can tell me where it all went wrong
Walking down this rocky road
If you can give a good reason why you did what you did
There's a chance we will get along
There's a chance we will get along

Every night when we fight picking up pieces off the floor
Its a requiem for a dream
I think we need a change of scene shes still keeping score
Amongst all these empty answers we try to forget
Maybe we would of been better off
If we had never met

If you can tell me when the day will come
As a conspiracy of silence shatters
If she can look me in the eyes
Then she'll surely come undone
Then she'll surely come undone
Then she'll surely come undone
