Give me a reason

To find the right words to say now
To open my heart, lay it bare
Like a pile of stray dried fire wood.
To dance to the tune from the square
Or pack my bags, and take a bow.

To find the right words to say now
Where feelings would be just, and fair
And my heart would be understood.
Cash my time, pay it in prayer
Or pack my bags, and take a bow.

To find the right words to say now
And hope you would listen and care
See through my wrongs, and love my good
See the truth beyond what i wear
Or pack my bags, and take a bow.

To find the right words to say now
Soothing enough to cause repair
To all wrongs i caused you, i would
Bare my heart to dry drops of tear
Or pack my bags, and take a bow.
