Kept my heart locked away / Kept it far away from me
|
Found a place by the river where nobody goes
|
Buried far beneath the levee
|
|
Places where I used to go / When it rained, my heart went deeper
|
Deep blue underneath the sea / Washed away for no one to see
|
|
I don't have the feelings I'm supposed to know
|
I don't get the feeling that you understand
|
Only get the feeling that you're feeling sorry for me
|
That's never been the point of what i've said
|
|
Never really knew what love was / Mixed it up with other thoughts
|
Growing up alone doesn't help one sort it out
|
Even when you're here, you're not
|
|
Never learned to trust another person
|
Never knew a person who could understand my words
|
Why I chose to share them, I will never know, but knowing
|
No one took the time to understand
|
|
Do I want forgiveness, or the thrill of maybe knowing
|
I could change direction, never caring where I'm going
|
Sometimes all the time it takes to make your destination
|
Isn't charted out as clearly as it seems
|
|
Now the smell of vaporub comes over me
|
All the shame of weakness builds again
|
Rules and expectations I can't follow any more
|
I became the person that I am
|
|
Wouldn't want to make you think you haven't found a way to me
|
It's only that it's not as simple as it seems to be
|
