talk me through

I know it's not that difficult
But I've made it hard for me
To say the things that need to be said
To show what needs to be seen

If there was safety, if I knew for sure
I wasn't gonna get killed
I'd let you see the inside of me
If I knew you'd love me still

So take my hand
talk me through this thing
help me understand
what it takes to be free
when I hear your words
I'll know that they're all true
so please, please, please
talk me through

I've said too many things already today
That open and deepen wounds
Before I pull the walls down completely
I'll need a voice to guide me through

I read the words that you've written
They rattle in my head like rain
Seep into my soul like milk on bread
And I need to hear it all again

So take my hand
talk me through this thing
help me understand
what it takes to be free
when I hear your words
I'll know that they're all true
so please, please, please
talk me through
