How do you know how I feel?
When my lips are sewn up and sealed?
When my panic and pain is real?
And I only talk to myself to heal..
Because hearts make no sound as they break
When tears fall is it heard at all?
When you scream inside they only hear silence
And your smile simply tells a lie
I talk to myself to heal..
Its the only words that I can hear
I failed to deny how I feel
Your silence says a lot , it's screaming in my ear
Because my heart made no sound as it shattered
When my tears fell it didn't make a sound they just splattered
I scream inside and try not to cry
My soul burns with the burden of a broken heart
And when I smile at you,
It simply tells a lie I can not deny
So I talk to myself to heal
Trying to figure out if my feeling are real
But whats different about you,
You don't have to hear me to know how I feel...
