Telling You — текст песни (Shawn Mullins)

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 Ive been holding back these tears.

This morning I awakened from a dream so real

Its in my memory and has been for fifteen years,

And I dont mind if you have to tell someone --

I had to tell someone.

Thats why Im telling you.

Times were different then, and I was very young,

But Im older now.

Im angry now.

I dont know what to do.

I never thought Id hate him,

But Ive 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 its alright if you have to tell someone --

I had to tell someone.

Thats why Im telling you.

Times were different then, and I was very young,

But Im older now.

Im angry now.

I dont know what to do, he thinks it all surrounds him.

Thats just the way it is, dont want my kids around him.

But I can tell you this -- I dont expect you to feel the way I feel,

But I didnt 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.
