If I take this opportunity to tell you what happened,
Will it destroy our unity?
Will there be nothing left to tap into?
I hate to lay this on you, but Ive been holding back these tears.
This morning I awakened from a dream so real
Its in my memory and has been for fifteen years,
And I dont mind if you have to tell someone --
I had to tell someone.
Thats why Im telling you.
Times were different then, and I was very young,
But Im older now.
Im angry now.
I dont know what to do.
I never thought Id hate him,
But Ive got to tell you brother,
My childhood has been taken.
I know now I was the other lover,
And I fought him the best way I could.
I got the hell out of there but it still cuts me like cold steel,
And I split like wood.
Sometimes I wonder if he knows or cares.
And its alright if you have to tell someone --
I had to tell someone.
Thats why Im telling you.
Times were different then, and I was very young,
But Im older now.
Im angry now.
I dont know what to do, he thinks it all surrounds him.
Thats just the way it is, dont want my kids around him.
But I can tell you this -- I dont expect you to feel the way I feel,
But I didnt know what else to do.
They say these things take time to heal.
I can start by telling you,
I can start by telling you,
I can start by telling you.
