Mouth clamped tight
My tongue burns with a thousand words
You could be my everything,
But I won't even make a peep
In my mind we've lived
That dream a hundred times
It was so wonderful,
But you don't even know my name
Is this the right place?
Could this be the right time?
Are we just cheating ourselves
By holding back with our everything?
If I open up and let you peer inside,
I'm afraid you won't like what you find
All these emotions swell like a lake
Behind a damn built for rejections' sake
In silence, my thoughts are crime
In silence, I'm left behind
