Landmines

Jordin Sparks

Trying to pretend its perfect 
wish that I could run away and hide
in someone else's life 
Feel like I'm 5 and helpless 
Like a child left alone
Crying through the night 

And when you yell at me 
I get scared of you
All I want is to be close to you 
I wish I could tell you the way I feel
But I can't break through

I don't wanna talk about it 
I don't say another word
I've already said too much
Cause you just never seem to get it 
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love 
And I'm just waiting for the day 
when I, when I don't have to 
dig up through the landmines

So afraid if I say the wrong thing 
That your gonna blow up at me 
Till I crumble to the ground
Finally I'm getting stronger 
And if I have to walk away, 
I will, And I won't turn around 

If you saw my tears, 
would you look away?
Hold me close?
Would you beg to stay? 
If I fall apart, 
and let you see inside?
Would you tell me its alright?

I don't wanna talk about it 
I don't say another word
I've already said too much
Cause you just never seem to get it 
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love 
And I'm just waiting for the day 
when I, I don't have to 
dig up through the landmines

How can I be so conflicted?
Your the light and the darkness in my heart
You'll always have a place inside it 
How can loving you be so hard? 
Just want it to be ok 
Someday, Someday....

I don't wanna talk about it 
I don't say another word
I've already said too much
Cause you just never seem to get it 
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love 
And I'm just waiting for the day 
when I, can finally leave all this hurt behind 
So I don't have to dig up through the landmines
I don't have to dig up through the landmines 

Dig up through the landmines
