I shy from the loudest voice 
The serpent I avoid 
Choose to fight a battle rare 
It doesn't mean that I am bad 
It doesn't mean that I am scared 
It's just not worth the breath 
I speak my mind when I'm at home 
Censor when I'm not alone 
Choose who I am open to 
It doesn't mean that I am closed 
It doesn't mean I've given up on hope 
It's just not worth the breath 
I hear when I must defend 
When you've got naught to prove 
I'll wait and listen to your view 
It doesn't mean we must agree 
It doesn't mean that you know me 
It's just where it begins 
We live in a time of change 
Breathe in what remains 
Left from worlds before 
It doesn't mean we should destroy 
Carry on mistakes ignored 
It's just all too short 
I cry when I can't express 
This feeling of torment 
When I can't get through to you 
I do because I care 
I do out of despair 
Wish you could understand 
I'm low when I get it wrong 
When dreams have been shot down 
When I reveal things I don't want to see 
It doesn't mean I'm in denial 
It doesn't mean I want to hide 
But there's too much to bare
