BURDENS
If you should start
feeling bad,
because something is
bothering you,
maybe instead of
feeling sad
you should find
something to look forward to
Something you may
like to do,
that helps distract
you from your pain,
because if you keep talking about it all the time
through,
the bad feeling you
have inside even may remain
It could get so bad
it nearly drives you insane,
so try to focus on
something else instead:
Because I don't you
to go through this ever again
I would like to see
you get it out of your head
I still remember,
where times before the situation led,
so before you think
about it - try to calm down:
You could focus on
good times that are ahead,
maybe we can talk
later on - remember you are not alone
Even if you feel
you're on your own,
I could be there
anytime you need someone
- you might only need
call me on the phone,
I'd come around -
maybe soon your trouble might be gone
Together I'm sure
we'd get it done,
we might just need to
talk to change your sight:
It is possible that
some time much later on,
you will see that
even a heavy burden being shared could feel light
DON'T GO
I know exactly how
you feel,
so I'm begging you to
stay:
I just want your
heart to heal,
I'll be there for you
- come whatever may
The bad times will
pass you by
- after every down
there is a high,
so please - won't you
at least let me try,
to just for a time
help your soul to fly?
I know how you're
hurting deep inside,
but after each down
it will also go up again...
This is something
that you just can't hide,
so let me do what it
takes to lessen your pain
You're wanted -
you're needed
- so please - just
don't go
Please do as I
pleaded:
Wait until the good
times will show
Can't you see - I
don't want you to go there
- I don't want you to
go because I care
Is there some way to
help you through
- just to help you
through another day?
There's nothing that
I wouldn't do,
just to get you back
onto your way
I wish you knew what
I can see
- the person inside
that should be set free
You so much deserve
to live on happily:
I want you to be
whoever you feel you want to be
I don't want you to
feel as bad
- I can't stand to
see you hurt down to the core
I hate having to see
you as sad
- let us together
find a good reason to be staying for
You're wanted -
you're needed
- so please - just
don't go
Please do as I
pleaded:
Wait until the good
times will show
Can't you see - I
don't want you to go there
- I don't want you to
go because I care
I believe times will
get better again,
so don't let yourself
be defeated by your pain:
Any other way is
worth a try
- so please stay here
- I don't want you to die
You're wanted -
you're needed
- so please - just
don't go
Please do as I
pleaded:
Wait until the good
times will show
Can't you see - I
don't want you to go there
- I don't want you to
go because I care
I want you to stay
here
- just let me make
this very clear:
You're not alone,
whatever you will do,
because I'll always
stay with you
DO YOU REALLY NEED TO HEAR...?
Do I really have to
say
what I'm feeling
about you?
Isn't there another
way
to make you able to
get a clue?
Am I not showing what
I feel
every time we get to
share?
Don't you understand
it's real
any time I'm being
there?
Why do I need words
to express
what's going on
inside of me?
Why do you want me to
confess
what with your eyes
you don't seem to see?
Don't you know what's
inside my heart?
Is it really so hard
to understand?
Don't you see how I
miss you when we're apart?
That what's between
us is not built on sand?
Do you still think
that I might go away
even though there is
so much I keep to do?
Don't you understand
that I will always stay
simply because I care
so much for you?
Are there really
words you need to hear
to be able to believe
what's going on inside?
Didn't I already make
it clear?
Is there really so
much I hide?
Didn't you notice my
feelings grow
- no matter if you're
close or far?
Didn't you see how
they started to show?
Do I really have to
say I love you for who you are?
