"Behind My Silence"

What's behind my silence?

Do you ever wonder why?

Am I hiding up so many lies?

Do some of them make me want to cry?

Do you wish for the chance

to take a look inside

and get to know what you might?

Will you stay where you are

or will you run and hide?

This time, what's my offence?

I remember the last time I spoke my mind up

Your reaction was like the biggest shock

I suppose you're still not used to me being all flat out

So what's behind my silence?

Have you ever wondered why?

Sorry, this time I'd rather lie

As you wish, I keep on playing your fun little charade

silently hiding these tears I cry

No more chances

All I need from you is to be heard

even when I'm not fully understood

Is it that difficult for you to try

instead of babbling about what you think of me

all the freaking time?

You're right

It's time to stop playing the victim

but I'm not going to pretend everything's alright

even when the light of truth is growing dim

Am I okay?

No worries

Just know what you need to

while I've got something else to do

After all,

this life isn't just about me and you...
