I Can Barely Say

The Fray · Scars & Stories [2012]

I said I told you everything, but I left something out

Underneath the stairwell.

That I'm under lock and key, as you can probably tell

Without a cake in a prison cell

I wanna return but all you do is turn to leave

If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me?



Cause I've been gone so long, I can barely say

All I know now, I want to stay

Has it been too long since I went away?

Cause I'm trying to find the words, but I can barely say



Well I used to be the sun, waiting silently

But they barely noticed me

But I've been talking in my sleep

If anybody sees they'll turn, they'll run from me

I wanna return but all you do is turn to leave

If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me?



Cause I've been gone so long, I can barely say

All I know is now I want to stay

Has it been too long since I went away?

Cause I'm trying to find the words, but I can barely say



I wanted to run

I wanted to love and be loved in return.

But will I ever get back, do I know too much to return?



I've been gone so long, I can barely say

All I know is now I want to stay

Has it been too long since I went away?

Cause I'm trying to find the words, but I can barely say
