I Wanna Know

I've been told before

That I'm not supposed to know

Anything about everything

Yet how am I to show my

Feelings of concern if I know

Nothing about everything



I wanna know what

You can't tell me because

I'm telling you that

You can

When thoughts are running

Through your head please

Share them with me

I just might understand



And if I don't

Which just might be

It's just one consequence

I've placed on me

I wanna know things

Right there and then

You say you have to sort them out

And I can't wait for that



You're worried right now,

And that's what I see

I don't want the tomorrow

Of a facade of happy you, happy me

I want what hurts you tonight

As I look into your eyes

I want the pain inside of you

To be something I'll realize



Yet I can't do it at all

If we keep playing this game of

Hide-and-go-seek

I want the peace of mind

To know you're all right and

Find all comfort you seek



I care about you

You're hurt is my pain

But if it's bottled inside

Who is to gain

From secrets kept

Secrets never let out

Things that hurt you tonight

Of which I know nothing about



I wanna know.

I know it's hard for you, but please...try... for me if anyone, if I'm enough to matter... I love you.
