I just Can't Trust, from Songs for the Dragon King by Vivian Hadding

There's some feelings inside
And they want to come out
But they won't right now
I can't let them out

And this heart of mine
Is all torn inside
But I smile just the same
And tell you its alright

I don't understand
All the games folks play
And it seems to me
We're all living a lie

We all run away
Cause we're so afraid
And we hurt each other
With the words we don't say

There's some feelings inside
And they want to come out
But they won't right now
I can't let them out

And this heart of mine
Is all torn inside
But I smile just the same
And tell you its alright

Is it so hard sometimes
To take a chance on love
To be open to each other
To be true to your heart

I see it at home, I see it at work
Great people, noble persons
Hide their hearts from each other
Hide their souls from love

There's some feelings inside
And they want to come out
But they won't right now
I can't let them out

And this heart of mine
Is all torn inside
But I smile just the same
And tell you its alright

And I wonder if I'm crazy
And I wanted to believe
Then you left me at home
To face this alone

And I know it made me stronger
And I know it made me tough
And I know you didn't mean it
But I just can't trust

There's some feelings inside
And they want to come out
But they won't right now
I can't let them out

And this heart of mine
Is all torn inside
But I smile just the same
And tell you its alright
