These are hard days my friend, our salad days have come to an end 
picking up all these pieces isn't all that easy 
but I won't cry, you know the reason why 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
cowards laugh when they lie while she's at home wondering why 
she's been given that cruel blow they don't care at all 
she doesn't know what everybody knows 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
With clam in her eyes I hear her say 
Iif you don't come my way 
I have to go away 
and if I go away 
what a sad day 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
I've got something to tell you 
some confession 
with calm in her eyes 
I hear her say 
if you don't come my way 
I can't stay
