It’s Hard to Speak My Heart

It's hard to speak my heart

I'm not a man who bares his soul

I let the moment pass me by

I stay where I am in control

I hide behind my work

Safe, and sure of what to say

I know I must seem hard

I know I must seem cold

I never touched that girl

You think I'd hurt a child, yet?

I'd hardly seen her face before!

I swear, I swore we'd barely met

These people try to scare you

With things I've never said

I know it makes no sense!

I swear I don't know why

You see me as I am

You can't believe I'd lie

You can't believe I'd do these deeds

A little man who's scared and blind

Too lost to find the words he needs

I never touched that child

God, I never raised my hand!

I stand before you now

Incredibly afraid

I pray you understand
