Speechless
I know the answer you want to hear
But I just can't respond.
My answer will be different, mine
It won't be what you want.
I have the words I know you need
But they won't roll from my lips.
I try to think positive but I feel used
I deserve more than this.
I understand your view on this
But my mouth just won't agree.
Unlike your heart, it's opening
It's thinking about me.
I will admit, I'm selfish
You've hurt me, I'll hurt you back.
I don't want to tell you this
But I'll push you under the black.
I have prepaired this speech you crave
But I just can't lie to myself.
I'll keep my opinions for nothing I say
Will come to any help.
I rehearsed the same old lies
But I know I'll betray my heart.
If I give you permission, I know already
That we would drift apart.
I know the lines you want me to force
But I'm struggling to get them out.
I can't tell you it's, go ahead
Not even in practise or doubt.
I think I'll walk away from you
Leave the words frozen in the air.
They never meant much to who we used to be
I think they're better off there.
But I just can't respond.
My answer will be different, mine
It won't be what you want.
I have the words I know you need
But they won't roll from my lips.
I try to think positive but I feel used
I deserve more than this.
I understand your view on this
But my mouth just won't agree.
Unlike your heart, it's opening
It's thinking about me.
I will admit, I'm selfish
You've hurt me, I'll hurt you back.
