Toe the Line

Can I create alternate feelings
For what another person says?
Sometimes your words have other meanings
Than the first thing that's pops in my head

Wish I could control
How you tell your truth
So that I would know
How to respond to your mood
Cause I fear how I would tell you
Would be misunderstood
Feel I have to toe the line
Being honest ain't a crime

See I do nothing but
Tryna cover up
All my softer emotions
Hold enough tears to fill oceans
Tired just getting by
Need better use of my time
Feel I have to toe the line
Being honest ain't a crime

But I've reached a point
Where I finally speak
To the hurt
That's been buried within me
And I've reached a point
Where I finally see
All the ways
Being heard sets me free

Tried to hold my tongue
Left a bad taste in my mouth
Fear of halitosis
When it all comes out
Prepared for the worst
To feel in control
But I can't clean out my soul
Till I let all of it go

See I did nothing but
Tryna cover up
All my softer emotions
Held enough tears to fill oceans
Need more than getting by
Make better use of my time
There's no need to toe the line
Being honest ain't a crime

And I've reached a point
Where I finally speak
To the hurt
That's been buried within me
And I've reached a point
Where I finally see
All the ways
Being heard sets me free
