So I Sing

I'm not that much for brilliant conversation
If it's talk you want I'm not the one to call
I never thought I had that much to offer
I'd rather be a flower on the wall

Solitude can make a great companion
Even when you're hangin' with the crowd
I stayed behind within a rhyme and followed
Cause they always play the music much too loud

A corner dark and quiet where you found me
A most unlikely hero that's for sure
You found a song within me burning brightly
And a voice I never knew I had before

So I sing - a simple word, a tender thought
I know therefore I am
So I sing - I'd love to find my voice but I can't - So I sing

I appreciate you called me for the party
But the song was just a blade that cuts both ways
It builds a bridge between us for a moment
Then becomes a wall within the light of day

But everyone must stumble to their calling
And mine is in the echo of a tune
You loved me well until the lights had faded
But now I'm just a shadow in the room

So I sing - a simple word, a tender thought
I know therefore I am
So I sing - I'd love to find my voice but I can't

Now I know these things I've said to you could be misunderstood
But you'll find more to my story than strings and wood

A simple word, a tender thought
I know therefore I am
So I sing - I'd love to find my voice but I can't
So I sing
A simple word, a tender thought
I know therefore I am
So I sing

I'd love to find my voice but I can't
And I never had the courage for the dance
But you'd love me if you give me half a chance
So I sing
Yes I sing - I'd love to find my voice, but I can't - So I sing
Yes I sing - I hide behind the songs
And I sing
