when

When you don't have anything good to say
it's best to keep your mouth shut for another day
but when that day comes and you still don't wanna say
what's bottled up inside, what's eatin' your conscience away
it's best to just keep what you're keepin' inside
tucked away another day to be the one to confide
secret things, hidden dreams, things you dont wanna say
I guess it's best to keep your mouth shut for another day.

when the heat of the day melts your facade off
when your painted on smile drip drops revealin' your bluff
you can keep on pretendin' with what you don't got
with what you know not of
or what's the meaning of, reason of, livin' it up
when you just have the strength enough to be givin' it up,
you're naked and revealed and waiting for affirmation
but the only thing that comes is the stark confirmation
that you're not only who you didn't think you would be
but you're also only human and a bit melancholy
a bit deeper than seems, a tad stretched at the seams
stressed body and mind, streched thin on the dreams
revealin' only what you knew in the first place to be
that you're only you, even if you don't wanna be.
