Can I Tell You
Can I tell you something,
Something I cannot tell them.
Well, maybe I could,
But they were never true friends.
Can I tell you I need something,
No one can supply.
Only one person can,
It is obviously not them.
Can I tell you I wish for things,
That will never come true.
They could come without anger,
If only they were real.
Can I tell you I need help,
To understand something no one else can.
If I close my eyes maybe it will help,
Or maybe I just need them.
