Strained

The art of great work
Lands the biggest stain
You can try to see through
But the picture remains

Can you see the crystal
In this broken glass
Or does it just appear to you
As trash

And can't you see my voice was strained
I wanted to say how I felt
But it didn't come out the right way
I'm pondering but nothing
Will come out clear
I wanted to show you how I felt
But you can't see passed what you hear

I can't explain how small you made me feel
It seems you're looking for perfection
Something that isn't real

I know there's nothing I can say to you
To change your mind
I know that I am not a person
Who can open up your eyes

And can't you see my voice was strained
I wanted to say how I felt
But it didn't come out the right way
I'm pondering but nothing
Will come out clear
I wanted to show you how I felt
But you can't see passed what you hear

I wanted to show you how I felt before I left that night
I wanted to tell you everything before we said goodbye
I wanted to say, I wanted to say
I wanted to say, I wanted to say
That I've fallen for you in every way, I've fallen for you
