If I

If I put it on paper.

If I put it in a song.

If I put it in a poem.

If I put it in words.

 

Does it all go away?

Does it stop hurting?

Does he hear me then?

Does he know how we feel?

Will it all go away?

 

If I cry all night long.

If I break down and fall.

If I drink till I sleep.

If I just don’t wake up.

 

Does it all go away?

Does it stop hurting?

Does he hear me then?

Does he know how we feel?

Will it all go away?

 

If I call for my brother.

If I tell him I’m sorry.

Can he come back then?

Can it all be undone?

Can we talk once again?

 

If he could hear what I want to say, he’d know this can’t be right, he’d know, he’d know.

If he knew,

does it all go away?
