My eyes are ice
My voice is cold
My anger lashes out
So I am told
At first I didn't care
What other people thought
But you saw me in a way
I knew I was not
And suddenly I wanted
What I never ever had
A friend who accepted me
And didn't think I was bad
Then I gained you
Your respect, your pride
You stayed and comforted me
When Chappu died
I always knew you loved me
More than I loved you
But I didn't want to think
Or wonder what to do
Is it true
That I am austere
Is that really
How I appear?
My heart cries out
From the pain in your eyes
I want to assuage it
I want to be nice
But it goes against my nature
To let down the mask
That hides my tender feelings
That I may complete the task
Yet if I want to be happy
I will have to let it go
Lest you think me unfeeling
And never really know
I feel more strongly
Than I ever let you know
I need to tell you
That I will never let you go
Tell me I am not late!
I desperately need your love
I need to feel your touch
Like a blessing from above
If I ask you now
Will you set me free?
Will you take the sorrow
And pull the mask off me?
