Best I Can Do

If only I could
 I'd tell you one thousand times I love you dear
 But this is an act
 I've said it so many times it's lost its meaning
 So I'll write this song
 In hopes that we'll be together after all
 It's the best I can do
 So don't you cry, be patient now
 I'm still standin' by your side
 But you should learn that you can be on your own
 Don't hold too tight
 You can't pin down the things you want
 But I'm still here with you
 Here with you
 Here with you right now
 If only I could
 I'd tell you one thousand times I love you dear
 But this is an act
 I've said it so many times it's lost its meaning
 So I'll write this song
 In hopes that we'll be together after all
 It's the best I can do
