Lyrics for a song

You were the only one who knew the meaning of the words I left unsaid.

The words that buzzed and burned and battled always raging in my head

They were always there unspoken
And you read between the lines

You saw the part of me I hid, now I can only hope your heart will stay mine

Because the words I never say stay hiding,
Never spoken, no confiding
Because you’ll hate me, that’s my fear.
That you’ll run away, you won’t stay near
Disgusted, feeling only hate for me
Seeing me the way I see me
And so you’ll run
Things have just begun…

You read me like no other tried to, taking time to understand and listen

With open heart and ears you hear me, and as you hear your quiet eyes glisten

And this look I see in you is one I find too hard to understand

I try to run, to hide, I’m terrified but you find me, take me by the shaking hand

‘Til now the words I never say stay hiding,
Never spoken, no confiding
Because you’ll hate me, that’s my fear.
That you’ll run away, you won’t stay near
Disgusted, feeling only hate for me
Seeing me the way I see me
And so you’ll run
Things have just begun…

You hold me, guide me, try to help me to unhide though I’m shaking

Some of us are made for helping maybe, but then some of us are made for breaking

You are a fixer, want to recoil my broken springs and make me mend

But maybe I’m not fixable – maybe the smiles I share, so rare whilst broken are pretend

It’s why the words I never say stay hiding,
Never spoken, no confiding
Because you’ll hate me, that’s my fear.
That you’ll run away, you won’t stay near
Disgusted, feeling only hate for me
Seeing me the way I see me
And so you’ll run
Things have just begun…

I never spoke and yet the words unsaid were words you heard most loud

The world grew muffled for you as you were swaddled, deafened by my sound

Those unsaid words were hard for you, difficult to hear

And yet so far I’m wrong, you have not run, you have ’til now stayed near

Although the words I never say stay hiding,
Never spoken, no confiding
Because you’ll hate me, that’s my fear.
That you’ll run away, you won’t stay near
Disgusted, feeling only hate for me
Seeing me the way I see me
But you don’t run
Things have just begun…

Just begun

You didn’t run
