Stop Before I Cry

I know that I'm not perfect

Just like I know you are wild

I know that though we're both grown up

I still feel like a child inside

And I wanna go out dancing

Soon as the world returns

'Cause baby, when you're dressed up

Well, it's hard to find the words

And if you look into my soul

And you told me what you see

You'd say, "I see the mirror

That you put in front of me"

Oh, don't take me to the start

No, I want to go forward

Baby, if we part

Katie, if I hide

Then I can live in your songs forever

And you can live in mine

'Cause Katie when you sing to me

It's like a melody

Comin' off the mountain

Comin' out the sea

Stoppin' at the plains

Up into a Memphis sky

Katie, stop the song now

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry

And you know they'll feed us fruit

Right before they suck our blood

Yeah, they'll fill us up with sugar

While they drag us through the mud

And it's hard to find the freedom

That we feel when we're asleep

'Cause right now I am wide awake

Always stuck inside a dream

And I know that you got secrets

And you know I got them too

'Cause you've seen me ride a nightmare, honey

And you taught me how to shoot

Oh, remember when we met

How we were so young

You were still suckin' on a bottle

Like it was suckin' on God's thumb

But from stage, you would take flight

And whistle like a songbird

While swayin' in a blue dress

You'd turn the crowd into a big mess

'Cause Katie when you sing to me

It's like a melody

Comin' off the mountain

Comin' out the sea
