Poem
I don't know I don't know I don't know Let it sink in I don't know the answer I don't know who you are I don't know myself I don't know how to get there I don't know her I don't know you that well I don't know the next step I don't know the answer Or maybe I do What if I am pretending What if not knowing is my way of controlling you Not having to take responsibility What if I just want to see what you know What if I am practicing to become a politician Or maybe it's true I don't know I don't know who you are I would like to Really I would What if we spent more time together I think that would help What if you opened up a bit more What if I listened more That's not always easy I'm still trying to figure out myself That's right I don't know myself There are times I think I do When I think I have figured me out What if I'm deluding myself What if I can't handle the truth What if I need some time alone, to figure it out What if I don't know, how to get there from here I could ask for directions Then what kind of man would I be What if it would be okay, to question myself To be able to say I don't know I don't have the answers What if like you, I'm just trying to figure it out What if, I know myself better than I think What if it's my way, of protecting myself When I was young A girl said "I don't know you that well" Still she wanted to be with me Not because she wanted to know me better It was a hunger we both felt I don't know her anymore I didn't know her then What if I had said no Had not gone down that road to losing myself What if I had waited Waited, till I knew myself Just a little better I don't know And yes sometimes I do What if "I don't know" is the excuse I used To do the things I wanted to do What if by saying, "I don't know the next step" I wasn't responsible I didn't have to take the blame I could have waited But I didn't want to I don't know I don't know But What if I did What if I do I don't know But What if What if it's all nothing but a game I don't know Still round and round I go What if I stopped I don't know I just don't know!
