Don't tell me that you understand,
Don't tell me that you know.
Don't tell me how I will survive,
how I will surely grow.

Don't tell me this is just a test,
that I am truly blessed,
That I am chosen for this task
apart from all the rest.

Don't come at me with answers
that can only come from me.
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
that I will soon be free.

Don't stand in pious judgment
of the bonds I must untie.
Don't tell me how to suffer,
don't tell me how to cry.

My life is filled with selfishness,
my pain is all I see.
But I need you and I need
your love unconditionally.

Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and
let me cry and say
"My friend... I care."
