lyrics:
Can I tell you I’m afraid
Of all the things you might still be hiding
Of all your words that may one day bite me
Of tomorrow

Can I tell you that I’m scared
Of all the memories I might have to relive
Of all the patience that I might have to give you
Of being small

Letting you say “I’m sorry”
And then believing you
Giving myself a break
When I’m needing to
Opening my heart
Risking it for you
You made me a fool

Can I tell you I’m unsure
Of the odds of ever healing
Of ever trusting or believing
Anyone

Can I tell you I’m certain
Of one thing, and maybe one thing only
That your love was the worst kind of lonely
Draw the curtain

Letting you say “I’m sorry”
And then believing you
Giving myself a break
When I’m needing to
Opening my heart
Risking it for you
You made me a fool

Can I tell you I don’t know
If I can make it to the finish line
If I can keep on trying
When living feels like dying
I don’t know
