Afraid of Telling The Truth
I don’t know if I’m
supposed to have
a lot of thoughts jumping
around in my head.
I don’t know if I
think about him too much,
or if I’m supposed to
think about him at all
There are only so many hopes
that you can basically have
in life, and I’ve turned off
most of my hopes
I can be afraid of telling
the truth, and if
there’s anyone that can handle
it, that can quote unquote
“handle it,” well then, I
guess that person would be me.
So in this case, I suppose it’s
irrelevant that I want you
and that I need you too, and
it’s probably irrelevant now that I
want you to play along
with this little part in my life,
and that you should take
all of my troubles away.
My fear is that I’ll scare
you away, I’ll scare you away if I
tell you the truth
So am I
supposed to
just sit here in silence and wait?
