the one main thing 
that i can't do 
is also the thing 
that would get me through 

just a simple question 
i'd have to ask 
but it seems like such 
a difficult task 

pluck up the courage 
any my mouth runs dry 
i turn and i run 
away start to cry 

only a simple question 
i'd have to ask 
a start to a stop 
lying in my mask.
