I passed you by today
Yet, there was not a single word I was allowed to say.
Lips sewn to the tip
So I scream until they rip
The silence is too loud
My thoughts burst into flames
And I will not walk through this crowd
And play along with my mind's little games
If I want to speak
I'll shout your name
If I want to cry
I won't do it in shame
If I want to hide
I'll wear a mask
If I want to be curious
Then questions I'll ask
If I want to pray
I'll get on my knees
If I want to relax
I'll feel the summer breeze
If I want to run
I'll sprint with speed
If I want to love you
I will indeed.
So the next time I walk by
Please don't ignore me.
All I'd like is a simple "hi"
So the two of us can again be we.
