If I Take This Opportunity To Tell You What Happened,

Will It Destroy Our Unity?

Will There Be Nothing Left To Tap Into?

I Hate To Lay This On You, But I've Been Holding Back These Tears.

This Morning I Awakened From A Dream So Real

It's In My Memory And Has Been For Fifteen Years,

And I Don't Mind If You Have To Tell Someone --

I Had To Tell Someone.

That's Why I'm Telling You.

Times Were Different Then, And I Was Very Young,

But I'm Older Now.

I'm Angry Now.

I Don't Know What To Do.

I Never Thought I'd Hate Him,

But I've Got To Tell You Brother,

My Childhood Has Been Taken.

I Know Now I Was The Other Lover,

And I Fought Him The Best Way I Could.

I Got The Hell Out Of There But It Still Cuts Me Like Cold Steel,

And I Split Like Wood.

Sometimes I Wonder If He Knows Or Cares.

And It's Alright If You Have To Tell Someone --

I Had To Tell Someone.

That's Why I'm Telling You.

Times Were Different Then, And I Was Very Young,

But I'm Older Now.

I'm Angry Now.

I Don't Know What To Do, He Thinks It All Surrounds Him.

That's Just The Way It Is, Don't Want My Kids Around Him.

But I Can Tell You This -- I Don't Expect You To Feel The Way I Feel,

But I Didn't Know What Else To Do.

They Say These Things Take Time To Heal.

I Can Start By Telling You,

I Can Start By Telling You,

I Can Start By Telling You.
