You don't see me like this, that I know
But I'm about to change what you have known
I have many things that I want to say
But I am afraid how you will take
I run faster than the running creek
My thoughts swirl fast and control my feet
I need to release what's kept inside
But I am afraid you'll run and hide

Can you understand I need to express myself
I know that it is hard for you to take this well
So just listen

I know you're concerned about my head
But trust me when I say that I'm far ahead
But there are those who are not there
So I write these words for them to hear
Life is a precious gift don't pass it by
There will be many times to laugh and cry
But even though life can be tough
There's always someone who will show you love

Can you understand I need to express myself
I know that it is hard for you to take this well
So just listen

I know there are many who suffer
And I hope these words can help
Put them in the hands of others
And use them for their health
Help them out

Can you understand I need to express myself
I know that it is hard for you to take this well
Can you understand I need to express myself
I know that it is hard for you to take this well

So just listen
