Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) The words are trapped, a bitter cage Behind my teeth, a burning rage I try to find a silver lining A single thing worth softly shining But the well is dry, the canvas bare There's nothing good, I just can't share (Chorus) I can't say anything nice about you It's a painful truth, twisted and blue Every syllable feels like a lie When I try to reach for something nigh So I'll stay silent, bite my tongue deep These unkind thoughts I'll have to keep (Verse 2) I search my memory, comb through the past For a flicker of kindness that might last A moment of grace, a gentle hand But all I find is shifting sand And empty promises, broken in two Leaving me nothing nice to imbue (Chorus) I can't say anything nice about you It's a painful truth, twisted and blue Every syllable feels like a lie When I try to reach for something nigh So I'll stay silent, bite my tongue deep These unkind thoughts I'll have to keep (Bridge) Maybe someday, the anger will fade And a gentler picture can be made But right now, the darkness holds sway And the light of goodness is far away (Chorus) I can't say anything nice about you It's a painful truth, twisted and blue Every syllable feels like a lie When I try to reach for something nigh So I'll stay silent, bite my tongue deep These unkind thoughts I'll have to keep (Outro) Silent I'll stay, until the storm subsides Until the darkness no longer hides Because right now, I just can't pretend There's a nice word left, my dear, for you to lend. No, I can't say anything nice, anything at all.
