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
It hurts to be apart
But I can`t watch and not be heard
The days go by and things get worse
but they say they can only get better
I try to make a dent
but it blends in with all the damage
I try to look the other way
but there`s a mirror behind me
I see images of what can be done
It seems like I`m the only one
I wouldn`t speak my mind
