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.
