Under Wraps

I can't say that I saw it coming
But it's true that I wasn't surprised
Never made much sense of your heavy sigh

And I wish that you could have said something
'Cause I know how you've had to disguise
Can you crack a smile, and pretend you're fine?

Is it true?
You've been away so long
You withdrew
And couldn't bear to talk about it, or live without it

Holding, waiting
Will only turn you on the ones in the way
So you can't act content
And who's to say they're gonna push you away?
It means more to you than it does to them
So don't you justify
Living silent, under wraps

I feel like I ran with a head start
And you're only just starting to live
Got a lot to gain, and a lot to give

And it breaks me up to think about
'Cause I know that you don't wanna miss
Anything at all, just because of this

Is it true?
You've been away so long
You withdrew
And couldn't bear to talk about it, or live without it

Holding, waiting
Will only turn you on the ones in the way
So you can't act content
But who's to say they're gonna push you away?
It means more to you than does to them
So don't you justify
Living silent, under wraps

The moment that you tell them's
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back

And what they thought was perfect
And what they thought was fact
Will uncover a beauty
That they never could expect

The moment that you tell them's
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back

And what they thought was perfect
And what they thought was fact
Will uncover a beauty
That they could never expect

The moment that you tell them's
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back
