repentance of a helping hand
written by Poison Ivy10:36 PM 10/28/04i dont know whats going on
but i know youre hiding something
and i want to know what it is
youre holding back
and i want to know why
i know you have secrets
and no one knows what they could be
i want to be the first to know
i want to help set you free
but youre holding back
and i want to know why
people underestimate what you can do
and who you are
they criticize you
you give them too much credit
why wont you let me you let me help you?
youre the collest person i know
somewhere, theres a soul tie between us
yeah, im talking about
i dont know whats going on
but i feel i can relate
dont hold back
i still want to know why, what, and if youre okay
and i know youre not
im stretching out my hand
take it!
why are you backing away?
why are you running?
how am i sopposed to repent of a helping hand?
waiting to be held
waiting to be taken
how can i turn away?
knowing to some point- you need me
and i'll be honest
to some point- i need you too
youve been through more then youre willing to admit
more then youre willing to tell
i look in youre eyes
and i want to cry
i can see that youre drowning
drowning in youre own tears
youre too dead to the world
because you choose to be
then so am i!
youre hiding
hiding behind the fog of your tormenting memories and greatest loses
youre dying in misery
youll kill yourself by sucking it in
be a man!
not like those other ass holes
be a man of integrity
i know thats what you want to be
then talk to to someone!
someone you truly trust
even if it isnt me
you re hiding everything
and i want to know why!
call me insane and nosey
say its a lost cause
i wont understand
and theres no easing the pain
its better then it eating you alive
i cant help you unless you let me
when you said that i cant help and that i wont understand
you have no clue how hard that hurt
a slap in the face
after trying to help you out of the rain
you think youre saved
but youre still shiverin gin the cold
youre in denial
rejection of a helping hand
its okay
im just being pushed away
i knw youre hiding something
for the first time, let me be the first to pull you up
and out of your crying skies. . . |
