I don’t mind this pain
It’s my little quiet refrain
It’s not ever what I’m saying
Sometimes hard to see
I got all the love for you
Baby, it’s not hard being true
But oh, it’s hard being tender
Caught up in my olden days
Searching for the love remains
It’s brand new to me
Lady with a gentle tongue
Easier when I was young
So much in the way
Love expressions, love expressions, love expressions
Seems I need to find a way to say the things I wanna say
To you naturally
Always had a way with words
When it came to those birthday cards
When I finally say it loud in front of you
My walls come down
It’s a different existence being with you
It’s a different existence living in truth
With enough persistence, my words become the glue
If I throw away hesitance, my expressions prove
Love expressions, love expressions, love expressions
I don’t mind this feeling like what we say is fleeting
Sometimes it keeps me out the deep end
Sometimes, I wanna go there
I’ll make it real clear yeah
Feels like we’re getting so much nearer
I swear I do
But oh, it’s hard being tender when I step outside
Tender when I close my eyes
Trying to find simple bliss in a world paralysis
It’s brand new to me, all these grave politics
The clock is beating on my breath
Depleting my own openness
