All These Unsaid Words

Your life as a prince and mine as a pauper What is it you want? I've got nothing to offer In no book or song, do any words say That loving someone could hurt in this way Asphyxiate beneath a blanketing cloud Of all the things I should never say out loud It's hard to decipher who's damsel, who's hero You can't separate your soul from your ego For you they are equal, one and the same But I see the difference and there lies the blame Your psyche reflects me and savours the chase Your barren responses bred from the wrong place You think what you say makes me smile, makes me stronger They're only foundations to ensure you conquer And all these unsaid words, I'm saving them up Then maybe one day they'll be more than enough 'Cos if you let me touch you, I won't ever let go I'd fight to my death for you, just so you know That when I want something so badly, deal done I'll give you a headstart I suggest you run.
