I Can Tell You

I could tell you a little about me
But I doubt you have got all day
I could tell you some crazy stories
I bet they'd make you run away

So let's just sit here around the others
And watch them do their lonely thing
Let's just sit here under the cover
Of a soon forgotten fling

I tried to live a life outside the walls I built a hundred times
But if you want me to I'll try

To tell you, tell you
About the constant fear and danger that I knew
I can tell you, tell you
But if I do I'll make a stranger out of you

So I'll be leaving, don't try to follow
Let's just quit while we're ahead
Can't start believing in tomorrow
Let's just part as friends instead

Before you go I'll come clean just because I think it's fair
Please forgive me if I cry

When I tell you, tell you
About the ones I've killed and how it killed me too
I can tell you, tell you
How a war can tear apart what we are due
I can tell you, tell you
That I wouldn't wish this ravaged soul on you
