Silence Kills

i wrote that i was lucky just the other day
 
yet i cant express how i feel verbally
 
i wish there was a cure so i can say
 
what my heart  is deeply feeling everyday
 
when i get the spotlight i freeze in freight
 
i end  up hurting you and that isnt right
 
i whisper how im feeling cause i know you cant hear
 
when the time comes my words disappears
 
im sorry but it seems i cant change
 
maybe im copping out or just plain afriad
 
i really do trust you but i cant seem to let go
 
i wish i wasnt holding back so i can tell you so
 
i always feel dumb when you ask me how i feel
 
because i say nothing when thats not how i feel
 
my heart starts to pound like im running in a race
 
you repeat your question and its like im stranded out in space
 
im sorry that im treating you so unfair
 
you deserve better and me expressing how i feel
 
whenever you tell me that its "cool"
 
more and more i feel like a fool
 
i wish it wasnt so hard for me
 
because i truly want you to truly see
 
that i care just as strongly for you like you care for me...
