If I could hang my head,
and just cry the truth,
If I could sing instead,
of look at you.
You think you know me,
are you really sure,
Are you trying to hurt me,
are your intentions pure?
I have this confession here,
on crumpled paper,
I could say it here,
or throw it to fire.
It says something like this,
" I feel I can not lose.
But when you're around me,
I come unglued.
These emotions of mine,
get in the way,
and it seems time and time
again, I have to say
I don't know,
are you real,
is this how,
I should feel,
Is this pure,
is it fake,
am I yours
can I take
all the hurt?
will you show
me the way
somehow
someday
to you?
Can I cry
in your arms
can I try
to feel some-
thing new?
I'll not lie
I did this all
for you.
I did this all for you."
Inspired by the rhyme scheme of "Best of You" by Foo Fighters.
