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
