Talk to me I wanna be the friend that I should be Don't you turn me down Let me be there for you this time around When it seems like the world is on your shoulder It's a feeling I recognize To tell the truth, we're all getting older Well that makes it easier to empathize It's you I care about So get right to it And let it out You know I'm listening You can't talk to me You know I'm listening You can't talk to me You've always been the one To lend a helping hand to anyone And so it started crying For you to get a little help this time Well everybody needs someone to turn to When it's cold and dark outside Maybe I can help you through a bad time If you'll only put away your pride Because it's only fair I'm there for you So don't despair You know I'm listening You can't talk to me You know I'm listening You can't talk to me Tell me if you'd rather be alone Maybe you just need a little space I can't believe there's nothing we can do To put a little smile back on your face Why don't you talk to me Don't leave me tryna solve the mystery You've gotta help yourself No point retreating back into your shelf Don't turn your back on me Don't hide your problems in secrecy You know I'm listening You can talk to me You know I'm listening You can talk to me
