Why are others

Why are others feelings
so hard to understand
what's wrong with letting someone know
your heart lies in their hands

I thought there were a lot of things
that needed to be known
and in the time you didn't know
I felt I was alone

I was scared to let you know
the way I really feel
but it was something I had to do
for my feelings were more than real

I wish somehow I could ease your pain
and help you dry the tears
and then together we could fight
to overcome my fears
