I didn't want to tell them
My words didn't seem to fit
The emptiness inside my heart
I've hidden all too quick

But I know that if I reveal
A sliver of what lies there
They'll change everything they've ever done
They'll try to be fair

I know in my mind I don't want that
But my heart tells me I need it
Something to bandage my wounds
Something to cure the scars with

So I don't say anything
But speak as loud as I can
Hopefully they'll catch on
But I know they haven't because they would've ran
