Someone To Tell

At my foot is a diary
 A lone piece of paper
 There the results of my investigations
 I'm searching for takers
 I want you to ache with my aching
 I'm a long way from home, carrying a message
 Eager to send that message to you
 Lend me your ears tonight
 I'm venturing out, I'm leaving my shell
 I just want you to hear me out
 And it just won't feel right
 Without someone to tell
 Someone to help me through
 Someone to walk in my worn shoes
 To disconnect me from my stubborn shadow
 To convince me that I have grown
 And I'll set you free from your own
 So run from your heartache
 Run away from your shame
 We will bury the troubles we've been fighting to tame
 Lend me your ears tonight
 I'm venturing out, I'm leaving my shell
 I just want you to hear me out
 And it just won't feel right
 Without someone to tell
