How do I know?

How do I know what I'm doing wrong

If you don't tell me what's going on

I can't read your mind

And it might not be the right time

to ask

But I need to know why

Because right now all my body wants to do is cry

I ask what is wrong

And you say "can we not."

I ask what you mean

But you just don't want to talk

I don't know what to do

I just know that I want to be with you

 

I still don't understand what it is that makes you upset

All I do is ask questions

Because I want to understand

I can't read through the lines

as I can only know my own mind

I just need you to be clear

Or else I get this fear

That I do everything wrong and nothing right

When I only want to help you return to the light

 

Cause you see I can't do anything in the dark

It's not like a walk through the park

So when I ask what is wrong

It is because I do not want you to be upset for long

I care for you, as you care for me

and I just want to help you be relieved
