Brendan Benson - Oh My Love lyrics

She wrote to me And said in a letter That she wanted to see if she could do better She thought that she could But if only I'd let her That's where she stood, for worse or for better I couldn't argue 'cause deep down I knew As much as it pained me, well I felt it too And oh my love We've got to be more careful In the future And oh how much It helps to talk about it And let it out Yesterday I found a picture of me When I was a baby and I was to be A man with no home A drift in the sea No plan of his own So careless and free And it makes me sad Then deep down I know That all is not lost and there's still room to grow And oh my love We've got to be more careful In the future And oh how much It helps to talk about it And get it out We could be lovers Or we could be friends Smother each other But that's how it ends Could be the wrong words That mean everything Like two lonely song birds That don't want to sing And its hard to swallow But deep down inside I know that its true And it can't be denied And oh my love We've got to be more careful In the future And oh how much It helps to talk about it And let it out And I'm so proud of The way we face the truth About our future And so my love What will we do without it? Do without it?
