I Wish You Knew My Heart

I've walked these miles in quiet pain, Carrying words I can't explain. Every smile I've learned to fake is just a Mask I had to make. You look at me but never see the storms That live inside of me. I wish that love could speak somehow, But silence is what holds me now. If only hearts could speak instead, You'd hear the truth I've left unsaid. I wish you knew my heart inside, Not just the smile I wear with pride. You see the calm, not where I start. You never touch the hidden part behind the Eyes, behind the scars. I wish you knew my heart. I hold my breath when you walk near, Afraid you'll see what's buried here. Every glance you give, it burns. A thousand lessons love still learns. I've built these walls to stay alive, But love wasn't meant to let us die. If you could feel the ache I hide, You'd see the truth I've tried to fight. If silence could reveal the pain, You'd never see me quite the same. I wish you knew my heart inside, Not just the mask that I confide. You see the smile, not where I start. You never touch the fragile part behind the Calm, behind the guard. I wish you knew my heart. All the dreams I never shared. Still breathe your name when you're not there. If I could tear my soul apart, You'd finally see my broken art. I wish you knew my heart inside, Not just the strength I try to hide. You'd see the cracks beneath the glass, Where all my fears and hopes still clash. No masterpiece, no flawless Part. I wish you knew my heart.
