I’m not looking for comeuppance or revenge
Or reparations I should be receiving
I just hope you’ll take a little of the load
From all my years of solitary grieving
I’ve worked on my anger
And all my other hurtin’
So it’s time for you to
Take on some of the burden
CHORUS:
(So) I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I just want to share the truth
Before the tears begin to flow
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
Laying out the truth shouldn’t be so bad
I’m not arguing so spare me your rebuttal
I don’t need for you to take on all the blame
I’m asking here for something much more subtle
Just silently listen
Don’t stop me to alert me
That you now need comfort
From the pain of knowin’ you hurt me
