Listen To what I'm saying (To what I'm not saying) Stop trying to shut me up Push me away Ignore me Because I speak too honest Too openly Too 'in your face' I had loved you (Still do) But you hid all you away Kept secrets Locked yourself in Then you blamed it on me Too quiet Too laid back Too fake For that's what I was Someone I thought you would like Would want (I hid I cried I lied) I gave you up Took a break I never wanted to be with someone who didn't treat me right And you were one of them (I almost died) Everything started going right (I gave up on everything) I started talking Opening up Setting myself free (I forced myself to change To not hide To become the person I had hid from you Scared you wouldn't want me) And I found in you a best friend Someone I could open up my world to And love (Much more than love) But you didn't want to get back to how things used to be (I cried myself to sleep) And you let me go my seperate way To find another (Even though no one could ever match up to you my love) And my love for you has ceased (For I must hide away my love Because you are another's to keep But this love I have for you Keeps growing Keeps unraveling And it's hard to hide) Please set my heart free.
