Speak

If I'm quiet it's because I'm waiting for you to say something
If I'm alone, it's because I'm waiting to be invited
Take my silence as a plea for acceptance
But don't leave me alone
Because I can't find the way back
Maybe I should tell you this
But I don't know the words
So for now, I'll pretend I know the way alone
I have to figure it out
'Cause I can't ask for help
I know that I should
But I can't find the words
Don't give me this responsibility
I'm not ready to ride without the training wheels
I'm teetering enough as it is
Don't leave me alone
To find my way home
'Cause I don't know the words
To ask for directions
Maybe I should tell you this
I know that I should tell you this
But I don't know the words
So for now I'll try it on my own
Until I can speak for myself
