I Want to Tell You

"I Want to Tell You"

I want to tell you to be strong,
But I want to tell you to cry,
I know you don’t know how you feel,
And I know you don’t know why.

But something inside you is hurting,
And everything is all confused,
And the world seems different, changed,
You want to blame, but don’t know who to accuse.

And you just want the earth to stop,
Just give you two moments out of time and space,
Because you need to catch up on some tears,
Let them roll proudly down your face.

The process is never easy,
The road is rocky and hard,
And the pain, it really does matter,
And it will leave its scars.

I want to tell you to be strong,
To bottle up all you feel,
But this is one of those meaningful struggles,
That remind you that you’re real.
