I tried to speak up in church
Tell 'em where I am hurt
Tell 'em secrets I got
With the temptations I flirt
They told me it's a safe place
Hospital for sinners
Not a museum for saints

But when I tell 'em where I'm at
They tell me where I ain't
When all I needed was someone
To hear about my shame
Can anybody hear me?

Can I say that I'm lonely
Say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
I got broken hallelujahs
And lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to

When I was still just a kid
I learned the way that it is
There's things that we can confess
But some are better unsaid
I tried to watch my heart
Wellspring of life
But then the waters got dark
I got addicted, conflicted
I wish that I did so much different
But now it's just how it is
Is this just how it is?

Can I say that I'm lonely
Say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
I got broken hallelujahs
And lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to

Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Away from me
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Away from me
Cause I got nowhere else to go
I got nowhere else to go
I got nowhere else to go

Can I say that I'm lonely
Say that I'm scared
If I tell you what I'm feeling
Will I still get to stay here
I got broken hallelujahs
And lies along with truth
Can you handle my confusion
I need someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
