capsized
when i heard about the coming day
wish i could wake up from the dream
in it i see a family photograph
and there you are, tucked in the scene
.
.
and there's a jealous net inside my chest
there's a hurt, a sadness there
maybe i'd tell you all about it
if i thought you'd care
.
.
heavy heart gets lighter by his side
but there are thoughts i wish i'd heard
if they ask you how i'm holding up
say i'm holding out for the words
.
.
what's the sense in being so sensitive?
can i trade this thin skin for a shell?
there are some things i've got no feeling about
but there are some things i can tell
.
.
heavy heart get lighter by yourself
it's been so long since you capsized
and you've been lying out there in the sun
.
.
has it begun?
has it begun?
.
.
heavy heart, have you heard?
i could use the words
.
.
