For Crying Out Loud

It’s there in the words we used
to skirt around it
There in the crook of your
angry mouth
Nothing you say rings true about you
And it makes no difference when
you say it loud
Where do I go if I can’t be here?
How can I understand this world
without fear?
I’m trying to hide it, for crying
out loud!
How can I show my heart
When you cut it out?
Now that the dust lays where it fell
around us
Even the angels are turning in
They’ll sleep in the hope
that by the morning
We’ll have learned our lesson
That no one can win
Where do I go if I can’t be here?
How do I understand this world
without fear?
I’m trying to hide it, for crying
out loud!
How can I show my heart
When you cut it out?
How do I show my heart around
here anymore?
How come it’s so hard to admit that
we were wrong?
How do I get back to a place where
I’m strong?
I don’t belong here anymore
Don’t belong here anymore
Where do I go if I can’t be here?
How do I understand this world
without fear?
I’m trying to hide it, for crying
out loud!
How do I show my heart
When you cut it out?
It’s there in the words we used
to skirt around it
There in the crook of your
angry mouth
