Holly Walker - How Can I Tell You Lyrics

Let me tell you something funny
I was just like you are once
Thinking happiness is what we're owed
I've been killing myself daily
Trying to prove I don't know what
Now that feeling's gone and left me cold

See really I'm you and I know how it feels
When the world goes back on its half of the deal
Really I'm you and I know how it is
When all you have left is a love song dissolving to tears

If it's so that you don't know
How can I say it always goes wrong
How can I show you this pain I'm holding now?
Click my heels and hope you feel it
When a sweet dreams is all I can give
How can I tell you how I'm feeling now?

I couldn't describe what heaven's like
I papered over all the cracks
While you cried into your little sleeves
I myself had paranoia, too scared to go downstairs
I left the light on full and watched you sleep

See really I'm you and I'm always your friend
And none of the games we made up were pretend
Really I'm you so I know you'll do well
You are flawed and what's more you're determined as hell
If it's so that you don't know
How can I say it always goes wrong
How can I show you this pain I'm holding now?
Click my heels and hope you feel it
When a sweet dreams is all I can give
How can I tell you how I'm feeling now?

We played on the street close to home
How to get there I didn't know
By the time you grow up will you know me at all?
I've known your pain since you were born

If it's so that you don't know
How can I say it always goes wrong
How can I show you this pain I'm holding now?
Click my heels and hope you feel it
When a sweet dreams is all I can give
How can I tell you how I'm feeling now?
How can I tell you how I'm feeling now?
