Walk with me
    so I can tell you my story
  how all the people
who come to my house
         and i listen to their lives
all their fears and failures
   and their secrets
they all stop at me
       to tell me
what people don't see
    why me
what people never see
            i'm just like all of you
       but i'll keep your secrets
   but you didn't ask me to
     because they're not mine to give away
you trusted me with yourself
    and i'll honor that
you know i will
you didn't have to ask
  so you didn't
but who do i talk to
anyone
no one
are you there?
no
but i talk to you
more than anyone else
because you listen
and i don't know why
