I set another place at the table For what I couldn't leave behind We sit together in the silence A thousand words between the lines So tell me what you've been trying to say What have I been too afraid to hear? I've been calling you my demons Have you been hurting all these years? I've tried to drown you in the silence Tried to lock you out of sight But every door I close between us Only makes you louder every night So tell me what you've been trying to say What have I been too afraid to hear? I've been calling you my demons Have you been hurting all these years? I never really listened... I never asked your name... You call me Rage... My name is Grief. Hiding all your pain Buried underneath. You call me Fear... But I've stood guard Over every piece Of your wounded heart. You call me Shame... But I'm not yours I never was... I'm all their words You believed before All these years you pushed us away We carried the words you couldn't say We were never meant to be apart We've been hurting in the same heart Now I hear what you've been trying to say The things I was too afraid to hear I spent so long trying to silence you I never knew you were hurting too
