these are the kinds of things
that no one wants to know
those things you can't show anyone?
i got me some of those
you could pull me out and turn me in
and i would never know
i could start it up all over
but i've nowhere left to go
and she could steal the mask away
but there would always be another
i could show her what i meant
but i can never tell her
'cause i could let you in
and you would walk right out
but she would love me harder
and that's the greatest shame of all
i could stand here on my own
but i can't stop falling down
and i could confess it all
but i couldn't bear to hear
i wanna put her on a rocket
a rocket to the stars
cause i can't tell her
and she would not believe
she loves me more than anything
and i am so ashamed
hey i don't write my words,
i fail them
and i can't get it through
hell, i barely even try
i could leave her and forget me
but i'm not man enough to try
