More Than I Show

I don’t say what I mean I don’t show what I feel Keep it buried beneath Something safe, something real Every word that I hide Every breath that I fake I’m still standing right here For every step that you take You don’t see it But I’m there I give more than I show I stay closer than I let you know Every silence I keep Is a promise I never speak I don’t need you to see What it’s doing to me I’ll stay right where I stand With my heart in my hands I don’t reach for your touch I don’t ask you to stay But I carry the weight Of the words I don’t say Every line that I cross Every wall that I build I’m still here in the dark Holding on, standing still You don’t feel it But it’s there I give more than I show I stay closer than I let you know Every silence I keep Is a promise I never speak I don’t need you to see What it’s doing to me I’ll stay right where I stand With my heart in my hands
