[Intro, close room tone, acoustic guitar alone, tender but uneasy heartland ballad feel] [Verse 1, male baritone close and conversational, no band yet] I think I love you But I just can't say I think I need you But you just don't try To understand me What I want is more than I can give It's more than you can take [Verse 2, warm bass enters, soft electric guitar behind the vocal] Desperation can turn a blind eye true Exhilaration makes them all come To the point of no refuse Only dreams get shattered in the sun And melted into tears [Chorus, dry drums enter gently, strings very light] Baby, don't you know that I don't have to be the one Maybe I'll be the one that has come to let you go And go and break your own damn heart It's up to you [Verse 3, pull back to acoustic guitar, bass, and close vocal] I watch you listening to the words I say You sit there silently so I wonder Why you let me go on and on All I am, is what you need to believe In a world that we create [Chorus, fuller band, backing singers faintly support the last line] Baby, don't you know that I don't have to be the one Maybe, I'll be the one that has come to let you fly And fly to your heart’s desire It's up to you [Bridge, band darkens, backing singers enter softly behind the lead, emotional but not huge] Cause love is a gamble Love is a game Love is trouble It's only going to change your ways Love is violence By which we will see If, maybe, baby, maybe, this love was ever meant for you and me [Final Chorus, full band and backing singers, restrained strings, baritone still close] Baby, don't you know that I don't have to be the one Maybe, I'll be the one that has come to let you down And down... This is all I have to offer you, now It’s up to you. [Outro, acoustic guitar and bass remain, final chord dry]
