Analysis of I can not tell
If I cry, will you hear my voice,
In my verses;
Can you touch
My tears, with your hands? I didn't know your songs were this beautiful,
that words are not enough
Before I get into this trouble. There's a place, I know;
It is possible to say everything;
I'm pretty close, I hear;
I can not tell.
