| 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 |
