Someone to Talk To

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?
I got broken hallelujahs, lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion? I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, oh-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
Someone to talk to, oh-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
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-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
Someone to talk to, oh-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
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
(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-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
Someone to talk to, oh-oh, someone to talk to, oh-oh
