Siah James - Are You There (feat. Franklin Good) Lyrics

I think I thought I knew that I was wrong about you
They might've be that I was strong enough to die here
And never leave, but now I might, I think a lot now
So many people say they know you well but I'm sure...

They don't cuz if they did they wouldn't beat the lost sore
How can they say they know and never leave their comfort
And be so wrong about everything they swear that they know
Tradition's hard, I tried to find my purpose there

Through all the lies of peoples lives who fog their hearts grey
So none can see they're insecure that you are not there
I tried so hard, but should I need to, should it be hard
So hard to see you, is that why I read so much

Are you there?
Are you there?
I need to know you
Are you there?

I tried so hard, but should I need to, should it be hard
So hard to see you, is that why I read so much
To learn about you so I hear you speaking thoughts
I want to be near you, and I want to feel your touch

Are you there?
I need to know you
Are you there?

Are you there?
Are you there?
I need to know you
Are you there?

Lately I've wondered if I am strong enough
To stay strong enough for everyone around me
I ask hard questions but nobody likes them
I act sincerely but nobody likes it
