Can I Tell You

Can I tell you?
Can I say the words you never thought you'd hear?
Can I tell you?
When I look at you
I'm looking in a mirror

Would you listen?
Would you finally agree?
Together's where we're meant to be

Can I tell you?
I still have the quilt you wrapped me in at birth
Can I tell you
That I street viewed your new house on google earth?

Would you hate me?
Would you cry, or shout, or stare?
Or worst of all
Would you not care?

Can I tell you?

Did you imagine who I'd become
Or that I'd come to find you?
Did you imagine how tall I'd be
Or that I'd still remember you?

I wanted this so much
And I dreamed it for so long
But all my dreams of you
Have ways of going wrong!

And now, now I'm here
Caught in a lie!
Why should I stay?
What makes me try?
Can't I just go?
If there is no "hello"
Why bother saying "goodbye"?

If I tell you...
Will I be able to forgive and to forget
If you tell me
That the one thing from your past that you regret
Is that you left me?
That you left without a word
Will you tell me what I never heard?

I should tell you
I should tell you
How I
I love you...

I should tell you...
