I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS

I want you to know this
You’ve always been right
Those times in the morning
And later at night

But right is not enough
No right is not enough

I want you to know this
I’ve always been scared
Pretended to be
So much less than I am
When I am who I am
Simply who I am

And I know there is such love
And now I really see
I have learnt so much distrust
Kept you far away from me

So forgive me for hurting you
And trying to push you down
Now we can let the past be past
And start the future from right now
Start the future from right now

See I’ve been taught
To somehow be strong
To never show my fear
Now I find I can’t go on
Need to heal the pain I feel

So forgive me for hurting you
Can’t you see
I’ve been hurt too
Now it’s time with courage find
The strength to heal our wounds
The strength to heal our wounds

And I know that you’ve learnt
To be less than who you could be
With all our differences
We are still human beings
We are all human beings

So forgive me for hurting you
Can’t you see I’ve been hurt too
Now it’s time with courage find
The strength to heal our wounds
The strength to heal our wounds
