Could I?

Could I say this and you not cry?
Whisper to you, all I've meant to say?
Could I. . .

Could I take this pain I feel inside?
Bleed this misery for you to see
Make you understand. . .
We're not the same

Could I give you my heartache?
Make you feel all I feel --
Every time I close my eyes?

Could I take all this anger
All this pain and give it to you?
Just for a moment. . .

Could I?

Could I pretend for awhile?
Borrow your smile
And feel the sun on my face

Could I laugh for a moment?
Kiss the lips of love
Dance in the moonlight

Could I?

Could I whisper to you
All I need to say

Could I. . .
Before I close my eyes
