I can use my words, I can say my prayers
I can use my talking, to keep guard all my layers
Words of affirmation, words that need no strength
Words distracting from the point, blurs the focal length

You can tell your stories, I can share my thoughts
Purposing the reasoning, to cast in all my lots
But I would never show you, show you who I am
I wish I were more than a boy, I wish I were a man

I’ll confide it
Let me hide it

There’s a chair outside, no one knows how long 
It’s been stealing fragments of the day as time travels on
Some things never change, some don’t ever move
It takes a lot of solitude to make someone improve

I’ll confide it
Help me hide it

Defining what we are with our words
Finding that there’s too much to be heard
If we both listened, who speaks the truth
If you were my witness, you’d have no proof

Let me disguise myself as a lie
Creating chaos beneath your sky
Manipulating gains for my heart
Targeting love but missing the mark

Help me hide it
Just deny it

Wishing what I had is everything you are
Knowing that it’s just a little, little bit too far
