Don't be afraid, don't hold your tongue Years go by and your songs get sung Did you really tell the truth? Did you say the words you need to say? Going through the motions wasting time Be careful where you step, don't cross that line Do you ever feel that you forget yourself some place, some other time? But wait, how dare you Come back, I don't wanna hurt you I understand, hell I acknowledge, we pretend, somehow we get through No one said it's pretty, love will make it worth it in the end All the history and words that we once said, unspoken languages, the magic in our heads, the quiet Subtle heartbeat, screaming for attention, here I am! The optical illusion of dry land, in an ocean of your thoughts, a secret plan The unintended consequence of saying things before you thought them through But wait, how dare you Come back, I don't wanna hurt you I understand, hell I acknowledge, we pretend, somehow we get through No one said its pretty, love will make it worth it in the end
