The words you didn't mean
You spoke the fears I had confined
Caged up in the back of my mind
I told myself they were not true
But now they're back, because of you
Once diminished, doubt was gone
Your affirmations brought out dawn
But now it seems, you’ve changed your mind
The real test to pass was time
The failed exam I would have wrote
For all my life, off that one quote
You said the words you didn't mean
I’ve lived by them, a full machine
My world was held up by your hands
Without them now, my frozen lands
Are barren, that’s the price I pray
For willingly giving my heart away
