Scared to Say

I hold my breath and bite my tongue

The words are there but I’m not that strong

Your eyes

They pull

They burn

They plead

But my heart remembers how it used to bleed

I want to scream it

Want to shout

But fear locks every whisper out

I’ve been broken

Torn apart

Scared to say it

But you’ve got my heart

The walls I built

They’re caving in

You’ve found the cracks beneath my skin

Each touch you give

It sets me free

But the ghosts of love

They won’t let me be

I want to scream it

Want to shout

But fear locks every whisper out

I’ve been broken

Torn apart

Scared to say it

But you’ve got my heart

If I could trust the words would stay

And not be thrown

Just cast away

I’d tell you now

I’d let it out

But the past still echoes

Fills me with doubt

I want to scream it

Want to shout

But fear locks every whisper out

I’ve been broken

Torn apart

Scared to say it

But you’ve got my heart
