Poor head
|
Can hardly move my lips for speaking
|
I said
|
So, what is this thing I cannot explain?
|
I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place
|
Perhaps they're written on my face
|
Someone took the words away
|
|
Why don't you speak up and say what you mean?
|
Summon my powers of conversation
|
I talk to myself,
|
I'm fine
|
When you're around,
|
Then I decline the invitation
|
|
It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied
|
A change has come over me
|
I'm powerless to express
|
Every thing I know but cannot speak
|
And if I try my voice will break
|
Someone took the words away
|
Someone took the words away
|
