Confide In Me
Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand in the distance
I watch from afar
Should I offer my assistance
Should it matter who you are

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me, confide in me

I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me, confide in me

Confide in me, confide in me

Stick or twist the choice is yours
Hit or miss what's mine is yours
Stick or twist the choice is yours
Hit or miss what's mine is yours

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me, confide in me
Confide in me, confide in me




Confide in me, confide in me
Confide in me, confide in me

I stand in the distance
I am observing from a faraway place


I watch from afar
I am surveying what is happening from a distance


Should I offer my assistance
May I extend my help to you?

Does it make any difference who you are?


We all get hurt by love
All of us experience pain caused by love

But sometimes revealing it


Is to set our children free
Can unshackle our offspring from its effects

Stick with the old or make a change - the decision is yours

Whether it's a success or failure, what I have is yours


Confide in me, confide in me
Share your troubles with me, share your troubles with me
