Tell Me

Tell me I'm sorry
Sorry for all I've done
Sorry for all I hurt
Sorry for turning numb

Tell me I'm lucky
lucky to be alive
Lucky to be here
Lucky to survive

Tell me I'm good
Good as kid
Good as a son
Good to bring out the pain I hid

Tell me I'm nice
Nice as a friend
Nice as a person
Nice enough to lend

Tell me I'm loved
Loved as a kid
Loved as a friend
Loved enough to take away the pain I hid.
