Before you go
Tell me what it is I want to know
Tell me but don't take a year
Tell me what I need to hear

Before you go
I've been thinking on the words you'll use
Any thoughts on what'll you choose
To convey to me then news? 

Or are you gonna keep it inside
And save it for another time? 
I only hope that when i'm asleep
That I don't speak like I've been known to do
That I can keep my heart and soul from you

Before you go
Don't be afraid to let me know
I'm afraid I let it show
I didn't mean to let you know that way

Or are you gonna keep it inside
And save it for another time? 
Or is it just all in my head
Do you even feel that way I'm thinking
Am I merely projecting my feelings on you? 

Or are you gonna keep it inside
And save it for another time? 
I only hope that when you're asleep
That you may speak maybe a word or two
That I can keep real close until I hear from you

Before you go
Tell me what it is I want to know
Open up your heart and soul
Confide what I already know
