It's hard to know what to say    We've said so much that we regret    What a price that we pay    When we can't forgive much less forget       The more I hear the more I fear    That we might lose each other       Can we skip to the part    where we come to out senses    Before we go too far    Love shouldn't be so hard. . .    Can we open our hearts    Drop our defenses    Find where forgiveness starts    Let's stop where we are    And skip to the healing part       I can't recall what it was    That got this whole thing started    When anger grows like it does    and respect can get discarded       Everyday that we wait    Something good is dying       Can we skip to the part    where we come to out senses    Before we go too far    Love shouldn't be so hard. . .    Can we open our hearts    Drop our defenses    Find where forgiveness starts    Let's stop where we are    And skip to the healing part
