They say "actions speak louder than words"
Then why is it that you haven't heard
The desperate cries below my eyes
That scream that I'm not fine inside
I want to tell you, but I can't
I want to speak truth, but it's slant
You believe it, so it's hard
To not hide and to not guard
The truth and nothing but the truth
That's eating away at my youth
I want to let you in, but no
I'm afraid that you will go
Once you find out what I've done
Your only choice will be to run
You will hate my malefactions
And wish my words were my actions
Because that's what people do, right?
They run away at the glimpse of night
You are no different, I'm sure
So then, why should I defer
From the way I've always been?
Letting my words mess with my actions
