My new song

Word Dancing

You hear what you want to hear

Filter my words with your own fear

You run when he comes near

I hear your silence loud and clear



We both live in our own mind

Looking for peace we never find

Life can be so unkind

I always feel one step behind

Can’t you just be happy for me?

I’m just trying to get my arms around me

Desperately trying to hold my breath

Living my life scared to death

If you happen to see a smile on my face

I’m sure there’s a line of a tear you can trace

But if you care so much about me

Can’t you just be happy for me?

Voice so cold it breaks my heart

Wall so thick can’t tear it apart

Word dancing is an art

Words withheld when teardrops start

Broken down trying to be tough

And anchored down by too much stuff

Might drown if seas get rough

Maybe love just ain’t enough

Can’t you just be happy for me?

I’m just trying to get my arms around me

Desperately trying to catch my breath

Living my life scared to death

If you happen to see a smile on my face

I’m sure there’s a line of a tear you can trace

But if you care so much about me

Can’t you just be happy for me?

Word dancing

Spin me round and round the floor

Word dancing

Always leave me wanting more

Word dancing

Spin my head, spin me around

Word dancing

Send me spiraling down

Why can’t you just say what you mean?

Why can’t you be happy for me?

Why can’t you just say what you mean?

Why can’t you be happy for me?

If you care so much about me

Can't you just be happy for me?
