Words

Some words come so easily

Some feelings wear me down

The truth can be so hard to speak

Whenever you’re around

I wear my heart here on my sleeve

But something’s locked inside

Behind the smile here on my face

A secret I must hide

They say the truth will set you free

But my prison is my mind

Locked up with these memories

The truth is hard to find

Afraid to feel that pain again

While love just slips away

Standing cold and speechless

With so much left to say

So, we build up these defenses

Resigned to live alone

A heart designed to feel so much

Can slowly turn to stone

The tongue won’t speak the feelings

The mind controls the heart

When words could break down all the walls

Keeping us apart
