I'm sitting here, across the table, listening to all your fables
wondering are you're gonna open up?
The clock is countiing down away the minutes
and now I'm wishing you'd finally finish
Wondering are you're gonna open up
I'm sitting here, across the table
I do admit that I'm just now able
to understand this is how you protect yourself.
Are you afraid to let down your guard this once?
Because I'm not here for my personal health
I've just been down this road and I think I can help
Chorus:
Why don't you tell me? Why don't you tell me?
what tears you up inside, what makes you want to fly,
why don't you tell me, why don't you tell me?
the story of your life, look me in the eyes.
I'm sitting here, and it's clear I'm staying
and for the record, no, you are not paying
it is an honor and a privilege to sit here with you
may be together we will come to solve this
if nothing else maybe you'll find some solance
some peace of mind in the fact that someone cares
Maybe others run, maybe they don't care, maybe others won't,
but I will dare,
maybe others failed, I will fail you too...
it's your choice to run. It's your choice to hide,
It's your choice to speak, it's your choice to lie,
it's your choice alone, you don't have to talk to me...
