Never been easy to express how I feel.

Held them, packed them, storaged them

Keep them inside so long

My heart burst open, its grown too full.

Been many days of pain

Left my heart dangling on a puppet string.

Trying not to go crazy, trying not to fall in love

Don't dare say those three words

But, hold on, they maybe returned.



Never been easy to show how I feel.

Leads me to ponder on the person I am?

Am I cruel?

Have I been unkind?

Selfish?

Have I not met, satisfied, given in to your needs?

Must I be the one to put all emotion aside

Keep them bottled up like the firefly?

How do I endure the days left undone?



Never been easy to just standby.

I'm against the wall, waiting for my turn

Playing hide-n-seek with joy

Peek-a-boo to happiness

It's a tug of war with the simple things in life

Hold my head high, can't let the tears pull me under.

If this is the nightmare

Please let my dream begin

The one where I'm floating on cloud nine

And dancing in seventh heaven



Never been easy to cry those sad lonely tears

Hating the need of another to drive away the sadness that I feel.

No longer wanting to be just another concubine

Passive contentment has passed on by.

Played the fool far too long

Held on for too long

Stayed in places I knew I didn't belong

Begged my heart to just let it go

Don't want to pick up the pieces of this shattered life.



Never been easy to express how I feel

When I feel too much love

Desire so much love

Can't escape the need to want a bit of that love

Don't want to hear the sound of heart under strain.

Refuse to look in the eyes of another unrequited flame.

Patience says I'm through feeling, hoping, wishing

Temperance waits for someday, somewhere, someone.

Cause it's never been easy to feel.
