I Wish You Would Tell Me

 I wish you could tell me

This is all one big joke

I’d believe you if you did

Things would make sense

If you told me

That this isn’t the way things were meant to be

That this life wasn’t meant for you

I’d believe you

I know you’ve told me

That I can be happy too

If I really want to

Just lift my head up

And look around

Why can’t I believe you?

You’ve always told me

You’re freer than you think

All you have to do

Just close your eyes

Fall back

And fly

I wish I could believe you

That it’s all just that easy

That the explanation is really that simple 

I wish you would tell me

That it’s just one big joke

A story

Or a lie

I'd believe you
