I wouldn't speak my mind 
I didn't want to make them mad
I looked up to them for the courage I thought I didn't have 
I never bothered to lift a finger to make my point 
Now I'm spelling it out and nobody's listening 
It's hard to take it to heart It hurts to be apart 
But I can't watch and not be heard 
The days go by and things get worse but they say they can only get better
I try to make a dent but it blends in with all the damage
I try to look the other way but there's a mirror behind me 
I see images of what can be done 
It seems like I'm the only one 
I wouldn't speak my mind
