Flinch

Maintain a distance How can I hope to love When you've only shown me Your pain Given me this wound Now what? Denial? Depression with a deep rage? Here. It. Comes again No! Retreat until it's done Scream! Though no one ever hears Endure, endure Try to be strong but still I Flinch What do you want me to say Stay silent or give a response then Watch out! Keep an eye on the hand Can't trust Don't care Still I know one thing It's me That can make you break, oh... No! Retreat until it's done Scream! Though you never care Endure, endure Try to be strong but still, but still Endure, endure I try, but still The only touch that comes The only hand that reaches out Is the one that causes pain The excuse you give may speak of "love" But the word that kills is what's been left unsaid
