Wall of Pride

If the light does not reveal
 What I'm feeling for you
 If the light does not expose
 Please don't fret
 My precious heart
 If you don't understand
 Keep in mind you're not alone
 And I may never find
 The words to paint
 What you are to me
 And I may never find them
 Whole.
 If the light is not as kind
 As the truth is ugly
 Every mirror's not a door
 Just a stranger always
 Kicking, crying, criticizing
 Stranger leave yourself alone!
 And I may never know
 The reasons why I said
 What I did, I may never know it
 When I did it, I think I knew it
 Now I only hope that I get through it
 You could have been my guide
 To the other side
 Out of the storm raging inside
 But my hands were tied to
 The wall of pride
 And my legs were shackled to
 The wall of pride
 I guess it's why my blood
 It goes ballistic when I see you
 Danger turns my heart a drum
 It's only you who sends my body
 Reeling for the exit
 It's only me I'm from
 And I may never know
 What I was doing
 Far from your side
 I may never know it
