Just for you, I would try.

Baby, when you tell me you can't take it anymore,
I fall apart, I crumble, into a million pieces.
I don't know how to explain life,
Even though I wish I could,
Just for you,
I would try.

Baby, when you ask me why,
I have no logical answer.
I have questions myself,
Why he would hurt you,
His son.
I don't know how to explain it.
Even though I wish I could,
Just for you,
I would try.

Baby, when you tell me not to hurt myself,
I wonder how you could tell me not to,
When you know so much about it yourself.
Not only do you hurt yourself
But the man that is supposed to be your role model
Hurts you also.
I don't know how to explain what I do,
Even though I wish I could
Just for you,
I would try.

Baby, when you ask me why I let them get to me,
I sometimes ask myself the same question.
But than I realize you do the same thing.
You just handle it better.
And sometimes I just want to be perfect, for them.
I don't know how to explain the way they make me feel,
Even though I wish I could
Just for you,
I would try.

And Baby, when you tell me not to lose my cool,
I say,
I don't know if I can.
Even though I wish I could
Just for you
I would try.
