We act like we don't know each other We're the same in that respect All words behind glass But no voice between faces Just spaces which extend forever Although no one ever asks why Because we go unnoticed in our games In our limbo state between friendship and...? Surely friends can converse but we compensate With silence and a stare if we're feeling brave Then I run to my computer and waiting there Is a message you couldn't say to my face. You tell me I can be nasty and scorn my silence You're not exactly hasty in coming forwards I apologise for my sarcasm but it's my barrier of defence Whilst we keep up this pretence of not knowing How can I trust when you give me so little? I can't carry on with this game under wraps Words can mean so much even when not spoken But there is no reason why we can't be open. Except when I see you my mouth won't move My voice just hides deep down inside Believe me I've tried to say more than Hello But for some reason the words just go! So we hide behind glass where emotions lose substance And my devotion is covered by sarcasm and wit Where feelings can be smothered by words you can touch But are never heard except in my head. You can scorn my silence whilst you say nothing Because we're both just the same which is why this is hard You hide behind silence and empty question marks Whilst I will never commit to a serious compliment Or admit how I feel just like you (in all honesty) So we'll play behind glass, and never let on When in fact we're stuck in this electronic world Between friendship and ...? Is perhaps where we belong. |
