The Pain I Own

I used to think I had the answers
A hope in something I could find
But hope became a bitter cancer
And grew in me stealing all of my time

That's why I retreated from you
I came unglued
Separated myself from you
Kept my distance
Parasitic hope to steal my fight

That's why I keep you close
So no one else can know
The pain I own

If only you'd listen
You might understand this
All I've been speaking, love
I've been adjusting
Learning to trust
But it's harder than I thought

You speak words of affirmation
I feel guilty
You're frustrated
I've been in love before
And I just do not have the fight

That's why I keep you close
So no one else can know
The pain I own
It's all mine and I try
But I cannot let it go
That's why I keep you close
The pain I own
