i'd be lying if I said |
I was completely unscathed |
I might be proving you right |
with my silence or my retaliation |
would I be letting you win in my non reaction? |
how would I explain? |
how would I explain this |
to my children if I had them? |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I can't afford to be |
misread one more time |
would I be whining if I said I needed a hug? |
would you feel slighted if |
I said your love isn't enought? |
how can I complain? |
how can I complain when i'm the one who reaches for it? |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I cannot walk without my crutches |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I can't help wonder why you ask me |
to all the unheard wisdom in the schoolyard |
you think you're the right ones |
you think you're the charmed ones i'm sure |
how can you go on with such convintion? |
and who do you think you are why do you question me? |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I can't help laugh at underestimations |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I can't afford to be misled one more time |
because I can't not |
because I can't not |
because I cannot help without your willingness |
