It's not supposed to feel right And broken at the same time A thousand lights that dance Out of my heart to you each time What do you have to ask me? Maybe then you don't feel The thousand pins and needles That I feel near you each time It's just my mouth, it's just a word And what is that? How does it hurt? How does it hurt? I'm not supposed to need what I've never had to know it A thousand thoughts that crawl Out of the dark to lie with me I'm not supposed to say it The way my head replays it A thousand words and none of them That I can say out loud But out loud is how it feels Is what you hide Just as real, just as real?
