Do you want to know?

by melinda houston   Sep 19, 2007


Do you want to know my ups and downs?
'Cause in the faces of family I see only clowns.

Do you want to know why I often cry?
'Cause behind each smile I see a lie.

Do you want to know why I feel depressed?
'Cause my troubled mind cant find no rest.

Do you want to know why I feel alone?
'Cause my aching heart cant find a home.

Do you want to know why I see no light?
'Cause after each day comes a lonely night.

Do you want to know why I cannot smile?
'Cause each inch I take seems like a mile.

Do you want to know why I feel so weak?
'Cause love I dont know were to seek.

Do you want to know why I cannot sleep?
'Cause dreams just never seem too deep.

Do you want to know why black and white?
'Cause this life around my neck is getting tight.

Do you want to know why I breathe so slow?
'Cause I never thought that i'd fall so low.

Do you want to know why I breathe so fast?
'Cause I fear this darkness is going to last.

Do you want to know why I feel ashamed?
'Cause there is no one else that can be blamed.

Do you want to know why my friend?
'Cause before I start I see the end.

Do you want to know what I really need?
From hope's lovely flower, a tiny seed.
