Shawn Mullins - Telling You lyrics

If i take this opportunity to tell you what happened, Will it destroy our unity? Will there be nothing left to tap into? I hate to lay this on you, but i've been holding back these tears. This morning i awakened from a dream so real It's in my memory and has been for fifteen years, And i don't mind if you have to tell someone -- I had to tell someone. That's why i'm telling you. Times were different then, and i was very young, But i'm older now. I'm angry now. I don't know what to do. I never thought i'd hate him, But i've got to tell you brother, My childhood has been taken. I know now i was the other lover, And i fought him the best way i could. I got the hell out of there but it still cuts me like cold steel, And i split like wood. Sometimes i wonder if he knows or cares. And it's alright if you have to tell someone -- I had to tell someone. That's why i'm telling you. Times were different then, and i was very young, But i'm older now. I'm angry now. I don't know what to do, he thinks it all surrounds him. That's just the way it is, don't want my kids around him. But i can tell you this -- i don't expect you to feel the way i feel, But i didn't know what else to do. They say these things take time to heal. I can start by telling you, I can start by telling you, I can start by telling you.
