And if I try my voice will break
It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied
Someone took the words away, someone took the words away
When you're around
I talk to myself, I'm fine
Perhaps they're written on my face
Why don't you speak up and say what you mean?

Every thing I know but cannot speak
Summon my powers of conversation
Then I decline the invitation
A change has come over me, I'm powerless to express
I blame all the things I feel but can't quite place

Someone took the words away
