Things I Don’t Say

Sometimes it hits you like a freight train running through your heart

Other times it sneaks up like a cat in the dark

And I don’t know which is worse, but I always find myself alone

Holding on to the ground I thought I was standing on

…

No one ever comes to save me here

Even though Jesus will one day take my tears

But as I look up I know  I have to stand

And there’s never anyone holding out a hand. 

…

I get advice, don’t get me wrong 

People tell me how I should have been

But no one really has an answer for

Being heart broken again

…

I used to try to gather pieces

Now I let them all lie

And I just remake myself 

With the parts that didn’t die 

…

Staring at the emptiness 

And trying to be free

To lead all the ones I love 

Out of a hole too deep for me

…

No one understands or really cares

They have their lives and think I’m insane

But when I’m looking to see no one there

The reality is only I remember my name. 

…

I don’t want sympathy at this point I’ve now come to

I’m sorry but I wouldn’t ask a thing of you

I won’t creep about as if my presence is an insult to your ears

But I’ll go on crashing badly with no one who cares to hear. 

…

Maybe we all feel this way or maybe it’s just me

I want to be bound by love but I long to be set free

I’m staring at the wilderness that I once thought was green

Knowing I should keep this one because you won’t know what I mean.
