If I Tell You
For The Vocal "Things You Canβt Say Out Loud" Challenge

Introduction
This is based on the concept that if you tell someone what they should do, then they only do it to keep you quiet, so you have to give them gentle nudges to make them see the error of their ways. Admittedly, there are times when no amount of nudging works, and you have to come out with those words, but then you can't really trust them to keep on the right path.
I have used the sonnet form for this one.
The music is "Trust" by The Cure from the album "Wish"
If I Tell You
π¬οΈβππ¨ππ¨πβπ¬οΈ
I Want You To Be A Good Person
But Many Things That You Do Are Wrong
Can't Say That You Act Like A Moron
The Things You Do Just Do Not Belong
π¨ππ¨
What I Can Say Is Treat Them Fairly
If I Say Just What Your Problem Is
That You're A Horrid Nasty Bully
And Then It Changed The Things That You Did
π¨ππ¨
It Would Be Because Of What I Said
And That Is Not What I Want From You
The Slightest Thing Can Make You See Red
Can't Say These Words, Unfortunately True
π¨ππ¨
You Are A Cheat And Spiteful Bully
So My Last Word To You Is Goodbye
π¬οΈβππ¨ππ¨πβπ¬οΈ
