What are words for?
When I try to talk
You shut a door
On my honesty.
You frown and gawk
And it’s a cruelty
For you to let me think  
I could ever get a word in.
I should really get a shrink
Because when I open my mouth
Yours beats me to the punch
And you always leave me without
Saying what I wanted to say
You should try it for once
It’s overwhelming to live this way.
