Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know
Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.
Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed
That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.
Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me
Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.
Don't stand in pious judgement of the bonds I must untie
Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.
My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see
But I need you, I need your love
Unconditionally.
Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand, and let me cry and say
"My friend, I care
