Something To Say
My heart is breaking,
Simply falling apart,
Waiting for you
To make up your mind.
You say you want me,
Say you want this to be right,
But you don’t talk to me
Like you used to.
You’re hiding from me
Something that you need
To get out
But you keep it within
And it’s hurting us both
I need to hear you say it
Tell me the truth
Stop holding it in
Quit hurting yourself
Put it out there
So we both can move on.
You say you’ve said it all
But the sounds
In your voice say something else.
I’ve heard it all before
From others in the past
None were quite consistent
In sticking with that lie
You’re tearing us apart
Get it out
Say it out loud.
Come on tell me
What it is you need to say
It’s time and you know it
Let it out
Stop ripping apart our hearts.
