Unspoken are the words
Is the way I see the world
Real?
Tormented by the story
Is there even any glory
Near
I spent too much time
Wasting away in my mind
Dear
So I go on living
Like there's a new beginning
Here
It comes like a shock to know
The demons I've been dodging may be chasing someone else
And the hope that I've been clinging to
Was just another story that I'd tell myself
Unspoken are the words
But doesn't change the hurt I feel
Nothing's lining up
So there must not be enough to heal
Sitting on the sidelines
Watch you playing on my news reel
Like I'm waking from a dream
But its never such a sweet deal
It comes like a shock to know
The demons I've been dodging may be chasing someone else
And the hope that I've been clinging to
Was just another story that I'd tell myself
Convincing me has always been the easy way
I'm fighting fears and I've never had the chance to say
That this is me
I'm bound to be what I am in my head
Building castles in my mind, such a funny place to hide
And only those who came knocking got to go inside
Unspoken are the words
But doesn't change the way
I feel
