Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes
Cuz here it comes
The lashing he's going to give with his tongue
No external bruises
No broken bones
Just some tears you'll shed
and a frown to show
Other than that no one will know
Sometimes the cuts are deep
They take longer to heal
But just hide from the world
And no one will know
Say the wrong thing
Be the wrong way
And he will be sure to set you straight
Don't get to close
Or care for him in any way
He will be sure to push you away
Trapped you are not
Your are free to go
But confidence isn't something you own
So hurt you will stay
Smile when you can
Act like you're not standing in quick sand
Lock up your feelings
They do you no good
It's easier to be empty
Then to always be hurt
