If I could say anything, 

I’d say I hate the lies.

If my heart could speak,

it’d say it didn’t die.

I hate the hurt I’m given,

yet it makes me strong.

But in their ignorance,

they don’t know they’re wrong.

If I could say anything,

I’d say I won’t cry.

If my heart could speak,

it would say I lie.

I try to hide these feelings,

the ones deep inside.

I can’t show my weakness,

I’ll conquer; I’ll survive;

If I could say anything,

I’d say I have my mind.

If my heart could speak,

it’d say I’m far too kind.

They don’t understand generosity,

not that they ever would.

If I could change something,

I would say they should.

If I could say anything,

I’d that say I want change.

If my heart could speak,

It would scream with rage.

Sometimes I get angry

with all the things they do.

But when I feel the hurt

I only think of you.

If I could say anything

I’d make them see

that even though they’re cruel,

they cannot kill me.

If I could say anything

I’d say everything;

to help you see the side of me,

that will tug on your heartstrings.
