Who’s gonna know
what to tell you?
Who’s gonna know
what to say?
No one else
can live your life
for you.
No one else
knows the way,
you feel
in this present moment,
the pain
in your soul,
the fear
of your confusion.
In the end
we’re all alone.
A friend
is such a blessing for you.
A hand
lifting you out of doubt.
A face
smiling in the morning,
making the sunlight come around.
You’ve made
it this far going
your own way,
figuring it out.
Your wake
has been lit by bonfires,
but you don’t
always have to
burn it down.
Let someone
relieve all your
confusion.
An embrace
can chase away
your shame.
So much more
is in you
than isolation.
You don’t have to
die alone
again.
Who’s gonna know
what to tell you?
Who’s gonna know
what to say?
It’ sup to you
to teach the world
about you.
You have to tell them
your name.
