Would you?

Would you care if I was afraid,

Would you see it in my eyes?

Would it matter if I couldn’t sleep,

Would you hear my muffled cries?

What if I poured my heart out…

Would you take me in your arms?

Would you leave me alone and helpless?

Would you let me do myself any harm?

Would you listen if I had complains,

Would you pretend not to hear?

Would it be a waste of your time,

Would you much rather not be near?

Would you for once not get angry,

Knowing that I get scared?

Would you calm me down instead,

And not let my soul be bared?

Would you care no matter what?

Even if I pushed you away…

Would you know what I really want?

Would you know I need you to stay?

Would you care enough to find out,

Would you care enough to know?

All the words I’ll never tell,

All the things I’ll never show...
