Just give me a chance to explain
Don't speak, don't say a word.
I know you don't have time for me
And I know that I acted absurd
I know that you have to control
all that you say and you do
and I didn't respect that or listen
I didn't pay attention to you
So things got out of hand
And you did what you had to
You couldn't handle my presence
my free spirit frightened you
So to threaten and punish you lied
until I was blue in the face
from saying "Im sorry-- I've tried"
and 'I promise to stand in one place'
But I can't and I won't and I'm not
and you can leave or you can stay
I love you, I think and I want you
and that's all that I can say.
