She doesn't smile quite as quickly as she used to And the hint of tears betrays the pain she'd rather leave ignored She's dragging her feet like the weight of the world came crashing down on her, Spun her 'round in circles 'til nothing made sense anymore She's clinging to what's left of the world that seems familiar She's lost a little something of the things she used to know These days she's missing everything she couldn't carry with her She took a good look at her world, then she turned and let it go The tears that she won't cry would taste bitter to the tongue And the sweet irony of it all now only makes her laugh She's scared that it all has no significance or meaning And the memories will fade like a forgotten photograph She bites her lip and traps emotion inside her mocking heart She won't speak much of what's been going wrong inside her head Her deceitful smile stops the flood of words before it starts She's a firm believer that some things are better left unsaid But she's staring at the walls that she's worked so hard to build She hates that everything around her is tainted black and white She'd like to break away and let it all fall down And watch her only hiding place be painted by the light She's longing for that moment of truth to strip away the mask She's closer to needing some reckless abandon than she has ever been If you wait long enough, you might be the one she'll ask to listen to her ramblings and to watch her smile again She'll curl up in your comfort and let her worries slip away If you'll only stay awhile and make the world disappear There is soul searching to do and a million words to say And there's so much in this silence that she's dying for you to hear. The day you were born, you were born free |

its been awhile acire not really hard times...i would say more like "contemplative" times. I've had a very close friend point out to me recently that I bite my lip when I'm thinking or when I have something to say but don't really know if I should say it. Thats where this came from. Its about having STUFF, I mean a lot of stuff, on your mind and not being able to get it out, either because there is no one to turn to or just because you yourself won't let it out. It's about the things we all think or feel in our heads but don't say out loud for reasons only known to us. The ending is about finding someone you trust enough to let yourself say everything without worrying about how they'll take it or what they'll think. That's all really, I guess Thanx for the reply, and i just may take u up on the offer to email u sometime  Luv ya K The day you were born, you were born free |
