I am not sure which words to say
Many thoughts crowding my head
And pride plus fear get in the way
I stay silent instead
In no hurry to lay heart bare
Each time I've done it before
Sentences hung suspended in air
You smacked them down to the floor
You don't have the strength or sensitivity
To face truth and come to grips
This time what I'm longing to set free
Remains barricaded behind closed lips

I am not sure which words to say
Many thoughts crowding my head
And pride plus fear get in the way
I stay silent instead
In no hurry to lay heart bare
Each time I've done it before
Sentences hung suspended in air
You smacked them down to the floor
You don't have the strength or sensitivity
To face truth and come to grips
This time what I'm longing to set free
Remains barricaded behind closed lips
