Don't Speak
Don't Speak
I know you will guess all I leave unsaid.
~Comte de Mirabeau
The first time I didn't say
What exactly was on my mind
It came with consequences
My friend lost their life
And now I'm faced once again
With the same situation
How did I get back here
With the same complication
Don't speak
I might change my mind
Don't speak
I need to walk away this time
Don't speak
I can't let this go too far
Don't speak
I have to leave before I lose my heart
You have an iron grip
Around my wrist
I can't get away
But I can't give up yet
You demand an answer
A truthful explanation
For all of my sudden fear
And hesitation
Don't speak
I might change my mind
Don't speak
I need to walk away this time
Don't speak
I can't let this go too far
Don't speak
I have to leave before I lose my heart
Time can heal most anything
At least that's what they tell me
Memories will fade away
But in the past my mind seems to stay
Keep silent
Keep it down
Disappear
Into the crowd
My heart is breaking
My fears awakening
My tears are falling
I keep on running
Don't speak
I might change my mind
Don't speak
I have to safe your life
If you lose yours
I won't make it through this time
Don't speak
I might change my mind
Don't speak
I need to walk away this time
Don't speak
I can't let this go too far
Don't speak
I have to leave before I lose my heart... again
