Telling You Lyrics

Telling You lyrics

If I take this opportunity to tell you what happened,

 will it destroy our unity?

 Will there be nothing left to tap into?

 I hate to lay this on you, but I've been holding back these tears.

 This morning I awakened from a dream so real

 it's in my memory and has been for fifteen years,

 and I don't mind if you have to tell someone --

 I had to tell someone.

 That's why I'm telling you.

 Times were different then, and I was very young,

 but I'm older now.

 I'm angry now.

 I don't know what to do.

 I never thought I'd hate him,

 but I've got to tell you brother,

 my childhood has been taken.

 I know now I was the other lover,

 and I fought him the best way I could.

 I got the hell out of there but it still cuts me like cold steel,

 and I split like wood.

 Sometimes I wonder if he knows or cares.

 And it's alright if you have to tell someone --

 I had to tell someone.

 That's why I'm telling you.

 Times were different then, and I was very young,

 but I'm older now.

 I'm angry now.

 I don't know what to do, he thinks it all surrounds him.

 That's just the way it is, don't want my kids around him.

 But I can tell you this -- I don't expect you to feel the way I feel,

 but I didn't know what else to do.

 They say these things take time to heal.

 I can start by telling you,

 I can start by telling you,

 I can start by telling you.
