What would you say if you could?
What would you say if you didn’t feel so misunderstood?
All these words caught up in your head
All these thoughts and feelings that you leave unsaid
Their voices get louder filling the walls of your mind
All the time making your own voice harder to find
It’s all spinning around in a mass of confusion
You can’t hold on to any thoughts to find a solution
You don’t want this anymore, all that’s left is to hide
If you can’t make sense of what’s going on inside
How could anyone else?
What would you say if you could?
What would you say if you didn’t feel so misunderstood?
What would you say if you could?
What would you say if you knew that I understood?
Your silence deafens yourself so you can’t hear anyone speak
It makes you feel all alone, like some sort of freak
Unheard, unseen, unimportant and unknown
Surrounded by people who love you, you still feel all alone
And yet when by yourself you still can’t get any rest
No-one else is here but you’re burdens never left
But no-one seems to notice, they all think that you’re fine
They could never understand what is going on inside
How could anyone help?
What would you say if you could?
What would you say if you didn’t feel so misunderstood?
What would you say if you could?
What would you say if you knew that I understood?
I’ve always been here and heard all you can’t say
Through the sleepless nights and the spaced out days
I understand all you’re going through and I want you to know
That I know you and love you and won’t let you go
Although I’m here, you can’t hear because you’re not listening
Your self-doubt and fears don’t want you to know the hope I’m offering
That you can have my peace and security in their place
So let your voices out and let mine fill their space
Come talk to me
Say all that you want, know that you can
Say all that you want someone to understand
Say all that you want, know that you can
Say all that you want and know that I understand
