Might I

Let me try
To be you for a little while
And I know the lie
I might just know why, I might just know how

You need a reason to want to understand
Have you asked yourself the reason for it?
Isn’t it yourself asking for what then?
Than the person who is asking for… pleads?

How do you presume for one other’s outcome?
To even come close to experiences known otherwise?
Telling people befores and afters and taking away fun
Are ourselves not in undisguised denial in perfect disguise?

Do we not still do it anyway…
In spite of warnings and advices confusedly heeded
Will you take a yesterday to tomorrow today?
Simply… don’t we all do what was presumably needed?

Can I try?
To let you be me for a little while
Finding reasons to deny
I might just know why, I might just know how…
