When Words Escape - Stretch Arm Strong

Thinking about the path we’ve been on, I know we learned a lot of things

Searching through the pages of our history to see what my memory brings to me

It doesn’t matter the lies we tell.

Our insecurities we hide so well

A revolution based on honesty, but it won’t matter till you see me for me

My mind’s been racing, but I don’t think you’ve heard

What I’m trying to tell you my emotions are so blurred

Please, please don’t give up on me

I hope you can see that I’m…

(chorus) so afraid to be myself and speak my mind

I’m so scared that you won’t like what you might find

Time keeps wasting while I look away

Never realizing the truth that I’ve locked away

I made a promise to myself that I would one day keep

To find the courage and the strength and in myself believe

Please, please don’t give up on me.

I just hope you can see.

Go!

The truth is not always easy and it’s so hard to please

Hoping that you’ll understand that’s the price you pay for honesty.

(chorus)

Time keeps wasting away, but that’s the price you pay for honesty

And it won’t matter the lies we tell.

Our insecurities we hide so well

A revolution based on honesty, but it won’t matter until you see me for me
