I wish I could tell you
Why the ones you loved walked away
That each person who left you was coming back
That the ones you spent nights waiting for would do the same for you
That the love you gave would come back to you
That all the answers you seek would come at once

I wish I could tell you
That every lie you were told was meant to protect you
That everyone who lied to you was telling the truth
That every betrayal was meant to save you
That every pain had a meaning
And every tear was for a reason

I wish I could tell you
That starting afresh wasn't so hard
That building what was lost was easy
That starting from the beginning wasn't so scary
That everyone would understand your pain
That each time you fell you wouldn't break into a thousand pieces
That there would always be someone to catch you when you fall
That someone would always be there to hold your hands
