This is a song about asking for help.

lyrics

Verse 1:
One day they finally told me it'd be good for me
To come here and talk to you
I didn’t take offence at all, i thought it was a joke
Cus that’s the sort of thing my friends might do
They said there was no guarantee
But it might somehow be good for me
I didn’t understand and still don’t see
The point of this and what the hell am I supposed to do

Chorus:
Cuz I, I don't talk about it much
I’m not sure that I should
I’ve managed all these years
I’ve done the best I could
I don’t talk about it much
I don’t remember talking ever doing me a whole lot of good

Verse 2:
You should know - there are things I won’t discuss
Things that I just don’t want to show
There are things I keep inside
Some things that make sense to hide
I survived them all and never cried
So there are probably things I’ll never let you know

Chorus:
Cuz I, I don't talk about it much
I’m not sure that i should
I’ve managed all these years
I’ve done the best I could
I don’t talk about it much
I don’t remember talking ever doing me a whole lot of good

Bridge:
This is scarier than I’ll admit - I’d never let that show
I was always hanging by a thread - but no one needed to know
Lately things have gotten worse - maybe more than I can take
But even so I worry that this could be a big mistake

Verse 3:
Somehow I’ve managed to get myself here
But now I guess I crossed some sort of line
But I’m terrified I’ll get it wrong
Cuz I pretty sure that I don’t belong
I’m just pretending that I’m strong
And I really hope I won’t be wasting both our time

Chorus 2:
I, I don't talk about it much
At least not ‘til today
But now I’m going to take a chance
And see if I can find something to say
I, I don't talk about it much
At least not ‘til today
But now I’m going to take a chance
And see if I can find something to say

Daniel Weinstein Mitchells Island, Australia

I started writing songs in my late 60s and have written quite a few. During lockdown in 2020 I happened upon a beat up old blue journal that I recognised from my travels in the early 70s. In it I discovered, much to my surprise, 7 completed songs and at least a dozen songs in progress that I'd completely forgotten. Now I can confidently say I've been a songwriter for over 50 years. ... more
