I can't say that I will

I can't explain these feelings that are going on inside
but I can explain that you're there,

Don't tell me you're not real, like all those times I told you
Just say, "Emily I'm here, Emily I'm here."

Don't say I told you so, don't quote the bible
just tell me that you're here and actually be here,

I know you were right and I know I was wrong
and I admit that, freely, I was wrong, I WAS WRONG,

Don't expect me to say it again because I don't say it too often
I'm giving you to many don'ts and not enough I wills

But I can't say I'll listen next time
I don't know that I will,

I can say I'll turn to you sooner,
but I can't say I'll trust you the whole time,

I can't even see you, it's hard to know you're there
Just promise you'll be here, and actually be here
