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
