You Say

Does every heart mend?
Love doesn't last
Even love from a friend.

How are you there
But never the same?
When you're hurt
How am I to blame?

What is it inside your head?
What would you say
To the heart that has bled?

Why can you have
The things I'm denied?
Can you see the thoughts
A mind has cried?

I'm chained in steel bands
In a deep prison
Built with my own hands.

You say you can look
Into my soul
So can I--
It's because of the holes

I have a mind of my own
I've no heart of clay
It's become one of stone.

Why should I crawl
When I can run?
I don't need you
I need no one.
