I can't find the words to tell you all i need to say
they're twisting around my head, stabbing my heart and i can't speak
there's so much i need to say
so much for me to do
but with one look in your eyes, i fall apart
there's pride there, that i don't deserve
for you see I've failed you
i fell from the pedestal which you placed me upon
shattered the illusion that i was everything you wanted me to be
and i never let you see me crumple. . .
i let you believe i could fly
I've clipped my wings, tucked them beneath my shirt and hung my head
i won't let you see me cry
i can't take away your dreams
so I'll keep pretending
but i need you to see. . .
