Scared to Say

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
