I tried to speak up in church and tell 'em where I am hurt
Tell 'em secrets I got and the temptations I flirt
They told me it's a safe place
Hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints, yeah
But when I tell them where I'm at, they tell me where I ain't
When all I needed was someone to hear about my shame
Ah, can anybody hear me?
Can I say that I'm lonely
Say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
Well, I got broken hallelujahs
And lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to
When I was still just a kid, I learned the way that it is
The things that we can confess, but some are better unsaid
I tried to watch my heart
Wellspring of life, but then the waters got dark
I got addicted, conflicted, I wish that I did so much different
But now it's just how it is
Is this just how it is?
Can I say that I'm lonely
Say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
I got broken hallelujahs
Lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, away from me
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, away from me
'Cause I got nowhere else to go
I got nowhere else to go
I got nowhere else to go
♪
Can I say that I'm lonely
Or say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
I got broken hallelujahs
Lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to, oh
Someone to talk to
