Wall of Pride

If the light does not reveal What I'm feeling for you If the light does not expose Please don't fret My precious heart If you don't understand Keep in mind you're not alone And I may never find The words to paint What you are to me And I may never find them Whole. If the light is not as kind As the truth is ugly Every mirror's not a door Just a stranger always Kicking, crying, criticizing Stranger leave yourself alone! And I may never know The reasons why I said What I did, I may never know it When I did it, I think I knew it Now I only hope that I get through it You could have been my guide To the other side Out of the storm raging inside But my hands were tied to The wall of pride And my legs were shackled to The wall of pride I guess it's why my blood It goes ballistic when I see you Danger turns my heart a drum It's only you who sends my body Reeling for the exit It's only me I'm from And I may never know What I was doing Far from your side I may never know it
