Circles - Down By Law

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I didn’t want to make them mad

I looked up to them

For the courage I thought I didn’t have

I never bothered to lift a finger

To make my point

Now I’m spelling it out

And nobody’s listening

It’s hard to take it to heart

And it hurts to be apart

But I can’t

Watch

And not be heard

The days go by

Things get worse

But they say they can only get better

I try to make a dent

But it blends in all the damage

I try to look

The other way

But there’s a mirror behind me

I see images of what could be done

It seems like

I’m the only one

It’s hard to take it to heart

And it hurts to be apart

But I can’t

Watch

And not be heard

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind

I wouldn’t speak my mind
