Just had a long talk With someone I can't really say I always get along with To be perfectly honest I really didn't like what I heard As some of my beliefs turned myth I guess it goes both ways As I'm sure I failed the test As to just where arrogance really ends So as we rolled and punched Dancing. around creating a show Knowing a cut too deep is a wound that never mends
So I realized That I am a chicken The Cowardly Lion without a heart as time after time I will fail As time and opportunity meet A greeting card has more honor Then the blank sheets of paper left along the trail That I tried to fold into some amazing origami
I can picture but can't produce Confident that I really am trying to Become as honest as I say I am That was Until the conversation I just had I came away knowing That I'm a liar The chicken-hearted Cheater of the dear departed Now back-stepping As if to get back where it all started
But there's no do-overs No wishing wishes would come true No one to blame but the you That you've unlisted No one in the mirror except the you That you've insisted Isn't you Saying that there are things in life you say And there are things you never say Those things you want to say. Or the things you need to say Then allowing ourselves to put them away For another day It's those things we have to say ...must say That can take part of our humanity away. So you see..... ..... I am a coward.... a chicken hearted Soon to be discarded Bag of desiccated skin and bones Because I had time to do the right thing but instead I let it pass ... let it pass So I wish I had never had that talk So I'm about to stop and move away From this conversation That I've been having with myself I don't really care what I have to say Okay I lied I do care .. .And I was right when I said I had things I need to share Need to say ......and need to say.... ..TODAY Because if I wait.... if I.... hesitate To tell those that I love Exactly how I feel At first the words may seem a bit unrealistic But the pains would be just way too real way way way too real
