Soft Spoken

You shrug it off You sit back down Your days of carelessness are behind you now You didn't let yourself Ever feel truly young Couldn't face the fact That you felt so numb But you know it's all And it's always been In your head There's no need To relinquish your sense of happiness When you're soft spoken And you've got a lot to say But you hold it all in Well, it eats away Now you're caught In the middle again Self-perceived helplessness When you're soft spoken And you've got a lot to say But you hold it all in Well, it eats away And it's all in the open Your hopes and your fears Controlled by your caution You'd prefer to stand clear When you're soft spoken And you've got a lot to say But you hold it all in Well, it eats away And it's all in the open Your hopes and your fears Controlled by your caution You'd prefer to stand clear
