Beneath the Surface

[Verse 1] Is there ever really a right time? You had led me to believe Someday you'd be there for me When the stars above align When you weren't so consumed I kept looking for the clues So I waited in the shadows of my heart And still the time was never right [Chorus] Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain and never went away Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface [Verse 2] A shell of what things could have been Tired bones beneath the veil Of guarded secrets all too frail Sad to think I never knew You were searching for the words For the moment to emerge Yet the moment never came You couldn't risk my fragile frame [Chorus] [Verse 3] I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal [Chorus] [Outro] Beneath the surface
