Just One Word

When you think you’re all alone
Suppose life is yours to own
When the problems that you find
Could destabilise the mind
When you think you must be strong
But you feel you don’t belong
When you don’t see any way
But believe you cannot say
There’s just one word I want you to say
There’s just one word I need you to say
When everything’s a mess
And you feel you’re in distress
When the overwhelming feeling
Is that life has no more meaning
When life is far too tough
And you think you’ve had enough
When love feels far away
And believe you cannot stay
There’s just one word I need you to say
There’s just one word I’d love you to say
Whisper help, say help!
Sing help, shout help!
Whisper help, say help!
Sing help, shout help!
Just one word I want you to say
Just one word I’d love you to say
You only know a world of pain
And think there’s too much to explain
You think I wouldn’t understand
But take my hand
Your struggle is not yours alone
Do not face it on your own
Send a message, pick up the phone
Do not face it on your own
Just one word I want you to say
There’s just one word I’d love you to say
Whisper help, say help!
Sing help, shout help!
Whisper help, say help!
Sing help, shout help!

You Didn't Say

We got to talk, you didn’t say
I really thought, you were OK
Was sure you’d go on anyway
There always seemed so much to do
Too many things shouted new
Wish I’d made more time for you…
How did I miss your pain and bliss?
For what we did was reminisce
But what you saw was an abyss
There always seemed so much to do
So many things shouted new
Wish I’d made more time for you…
This could not be, and yet it was
We couldn’t find what was because
No reason for, forever loss
No reason for, forever loss
This could not be, and yet it was
No reason for, forever loss
No reason for, forever loss
We couldn’t find what was because
Wherever you may be above
I don’t know what this world’s made of
I’ve tried to send you deepest love
I’ve stretched to pull you close to me
In my heart, you’re always close to me
How did I miss your pain and bliss?
For what we did was reminisce
But what you saw was an abyss
There always seemed so much to do
Too many things shouted new
Wish I’d made more time for you
You broke our hearts when you went away
You broke our hearts when you went away
You broke our hearts when you went away
