Maybe I've been hurt
Maybe I've been saved for something worse
Can't say
If you asked me now, what's in a crowd?
There's thousands of faces with thousands of ways to be hurt
For free
But this I know I always make the friends that never stay
I always make the friends that never stay
Feelings can't be felt
I couldn't let the ground beneath me melt.
Not me
They spread things about, they twist things around
The mask is a screen 'til the whispers are so loud they hurt
I tried to stay
That someone could have made up something so cruel
That someone could have poisoned that mouthful of you
That someone could have played with something untrue
That took such delight in the last breath of you
Couldn't bear to stay
Couldn't tear away is that emotional
Or reproachable
But this I know
I always make amends when it's too late
I always make amends when it's too late
Was there something I could have said
Something I did
Someone I could have called
Something I read
They spread things about, they twist things around
The mask is a screen 'til the whispers are so loud they hurt
I tried to stay...
