keep from you 

i've this strange recurring dream of a house with hidden rooms
i'm not sure what it means but there are things i keep from you
conversations you avoid, your eyes dart around the room 
there are things you keep from me and i know that it's still hard for you

but it can't stay this way  
i know it seems like that's what's coming down  
it's been hard to make this right 
and i've been slow to turn myself around

believing comes too easy and it's killing you too fast 
it's been hard enough to keep our hearts and mouths in tune  conversations you avoid, your eyes dart around the room 
you still wait to hear it straight from me, maybe someday i'll give in to you

waiting to decide which is the last word
and you're accustomed to the way it brings you down
i try to shut my mouth to let you be the way you were
uncompromised and better fit to sing out loud 

if i told you all at once, the words would come out much too fast 
if you didn't understand i know you wouldn't ask
accusations you avoid, your eyes dart around the room 
there are things you keep from me cause i know i've made it hard for you.
