you told me you didn't know how to laugh
so i tried to show you how

by erupting into one of my giggling fits
which you often said were too loud

you told me you'd never been happy
well, not in the true sense of the word

so i gave you something to relate to
which only a few have heard

i don't know it if made you feel better
in hindsight, probably not

but maybe it made me feel better
and honestly, is that so wrong?

you told me you didn't know who you were
so i tried to help you find

the answers you'd been searching for
within the layers of your mind

you told me you'd never been speechless before
my mouth was on your mouth

you told me you didn't know how to love
so this is me showing you how
