My silly words cannot breathe enough
I fear that what you yearn
Has yet to fall from these unvaried lips
Teach me to use words that burn

See me learning
Who you are and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that you need

I search for a phrase and when I fail
Still you know what I say
How could you get to know this man – despite his solemn way
How did you get to know who I am

See me learning
Who you are, and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that will feed you completely
The meaning is there, what I lack is the means to truly tell you
How I feel

Wait for me patiently
I will say things complete
I will be all the words
That you need

I remember the day you stopped asking
For me to say something sweet
I felt me lose faith in me – in how I reveal
How could I fail to show you how I feel

I am learning
Who I am and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that will feed you completely
The meaning is there – what I lack is the means to truly tell you
How I feel

Don’t give up on me
