You don't understand who i am
you ask me to close my open hand

but i was hoping you'd give me time
to show you all the colours in my mind
all those tiny lights i've followed

but if you cannot love me
someone else can

you make me laugh and i get high
then you walk away and leave me dry

but i was hoping you would find
the way to my heart and to my mind
that you would listen
even to the silly thoughts i have

but if you cannot love me ...

but i wanted to know who you are
shame we cannot be who we really are
such a pity
to crush a flower before it blooms

but if you cannot love me
then i can't love you
if you cannot love me
someone else can
but if you really want me
come and tell me while you can
