Precious Few

All those things that "go without saying"
Do you think that I should say them?
Do you think I should take that chance
In case nobody was listening?

That's a lot of people to tell I love
A lot of apologizing too
A lot of people who thought I was over
And under a precious few

That's a lot of people to remind I care
And a few I miss them too
A lot of people who thought I was gone
And wish back a precious few

It's a lot of lives I'd be disrupting
Some people that might start anew
A lot of ties I might be breaking
All but a precious few

It's a couple of people I'm too scared to say it
I always thought they knew
A couple of people that saying might change it
A couple, precious one or two

All of these things that seem to need saying
I wondered what should I do?
Do you think the risk was worth it?
You and a precious few
