What can I say

What can I say
to let you know
just how much I
love you so

How can I make
up all the times
I know I've hurt
you so

Why can't I learn
to trust you
with the things
most important to me

Why can't I let
you love me when
that's the way
I'd like it to be

How come we make
it seem so hard
and wrong
to touch someone

Why can't we just give
someone a hug
without feeling it's
a threatened love

How come we've
let other people
make us think we
really are strange

Why don't we just
open up, and go
with our hearts
for a change
