No Longer

Why would I not tell You the truth
When I see You’re tired of the lying
To walk away is killing You
I tell myself what I know is not true
I read Your lips
As we parted ways
And I say to myself
Never again will I be ashamed
No longer, no longer
Will I sit back
And watch the world slowly slip away
No longer, no longer
Do I have anything to lose
Worth more than what You’ve given me
I strained my voice
Whispering truth
From the books I read
And other people’s views
But at the end of the day
What difference does it make
It’s time I took my mind off me
I’m reaching up
You’re reaching in
I’m gonna reach out now
