All the Words Unwritten

And I want to scream

Get out while you can

Run before you get pulled under

You’re already sinking

But it’s only my place to whisper

And you’ve got love in your ears

Thick as cotton, my words don’t get through

All logic filtered out

If it contrasts the love

I can only write

All the things you refuse to read into

They’re just words on a screen

The things you don’t wanna see

So I’ll just be your support

I’ll be your pit crew

Whether you come in first

Or whether you crash and burn

I’ll be on the scene

You can count on me

I’ll be on your side

Even if you’re making stupid choices

I’ll suffer silently, a whisper

While you endure all the pain

And convince yourself you’re happy

You’re just hurting yourself

Do you still enjoy the pain you inflict?

I read the hurt inside your words

This isn’t happiness, it’s captivity

She is the cage, locked

Your mind is the key

But you’ve thrown that away

And I can just watch

Let you talk yourself into dependence

And support every move that you make
