I see you struggle, holding back the words,

everything’s left hanging in the air like a secret.

Why’s it so hard to just say what’s really there?

Why do we keep circling round what truly matters?

Speak to me in plain words. No hiding, no stalling,

I want the truth, no matter what it looks like.

Drop the mask, say what really counts,

so we can know where we truly stand.

There’s something between us that no one dares to name,

the silence grows louder, words are heavy.

I can feel there’s more than you’re letting on –

but like this, we’re not getting anywhere.

Speak to me in plain words. No hiding, no stalling,

I want the truth, no matter what it looks like.

Drop the mask, say what really counts,

so we can know where we truly stand.

I don’t want to guess, I don’t want to wait,

we’re just wasting time in the shadows.

Just be honest once, lay it all on the table –

so we know what stays and what fades away.

Speak to me in plain words. No hiding, no stalling,

I want the truth, no matter what it looks like.

Drop the mask, say what really counts,

so we can know where we truly stand.

No more silence, no more empty glances,

Speak to me in plain words –

so we know what’s left of us.
