Can I
Tedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I trust you
Does your smile hide lies
Can I jump in
And close my eyes
Can you tell me that you'll be here
For all the little things
Can I lay here
In your arms
Can I love you
Would it be alright
Can I wait here
When you say goodbye
Cause I've been hurt
Can I try
To just believe
You'll never let me go
Say you need me
By your side
And I will hold your hand
Till the end of time
Say you'll listen
When we fight
That you won't shut me out
And walk away
Won't you tell me that you'll stay here
So we can talk it out
Then you'll smile at me
And hold me tight
Can I love you
Would it be alright
Can I wait here
When you say goodbye
Cause I've been hurt
Oh can I try to just believe
You'll never let me go
Cause I'm so through with all the pain
And the lonliness it brings
Cause every time it's all the same
And I'm ready to give in
So can I love you
Would it be alright
Can I wait here
When you say goodbye
Cause I've been hurt
Oh can I try




To just believe
You'll never let me go

Can I trust you
Do you deserve my trust


Does your smile hide lies
Is your smile genuine or hiding something


Can I jump in
Can I take a risk with you


And close my eyes
Can I trust you to guide me


Can you tell me that you'll be here
Will you commit to being here for me


For all the little things
No matter how small or insignificant


Can I lay here
Can I find comfort in you


In your arms
Close to your heart


Can I love you
Can I give you my heart


Would it be alright
Are you open to receiving my love


Can I wait here
Can I patiently wait for you


When you say goodbye
When you need time apart

To have faith in a lasting love


You'll never let me go
That you'll always be here for me

That I am important to you


By your side
Together through thick and thin


And I will hold your hand
Supporting you all the way


Till the end of time
Forever and always


Say you'll listen
That you'll hear me out


When we fight
In the heat of an argument


That you won't shut me out
That you'll keep communicating


And walk away
Abandoning the relationship


Won't you tell me that you'll stay here
That you'll stick around through the tough times


So we can talk it out
To resolve conflicts together


Then you'll smile at me
With warmth and affection


And hold me tight
Embracing me for comfort


Cause I'm so through with all the pain
Painful past experiences have made me hesitant


And the loneliness it brings
The isolating feeling of being left alone


Cause every time it's all the same
Past relationships have been unfulfilling


And I'm ready to give in
To surrender to love again

Me to my love:
1. Do you like me?
2. Can I love you?
3. Will you be sad if I cry?
4. If you reject me, will you feel sorry?
5. Will you be sad if I die?
Expecting results:
1. I just don't like you I love you!
2. If you love me then that's gonna be the biggest present of my life!
3. I will be sad but I will always support you and never bring situations that will make you cry!
4. I will regret it whole my life!
5. I will cry and die before you die, your tears will flow me!

OMG! His voice is just magical. This just reminds me of something I just wrote:
You left, leaving me battered and torn.
Leaving me still hung on you.
I'm still looking for you in every face that I pass by.
I can't let go, can't erase what we had and move on.
I'm struggling to be alright, to understand is it for wrong ? Or right?
I can't rewind and bring you back, can't change myself to what I'm not.
Can't let go and forget us to move on.
