i learned to look through different eyes

i learned to look through different eyes

so scared of emotions they all got denied

covered up my identity

my hopes and dreams of being free

to break and to love it

to cry like i mean it

truly feeling my emotions

as the fuel on which my heart runs

cancelling the outer voice

love was a controlling voice

my whole life lived trough different eyes

so scared of my emotions they all got denied

never thought i would regret

the unconciously trying to forget

one covered up in sheets of fear

unavailable it’s all so clear

why does it take a lifetime long

to finally see where i went wrong

how am i not responsible

but forever totally accountable

it’s hard to deal with all of this

if i had only learned

to break and to love it

to cry like I mean it

truly feeling my emotions

as the fuel on which my heart runs
