It's okay to want some breathing room
Isn't that what you asked me to give you?
I've got regrets
Breathing down my neck,
and it hurts me each time I think of you
I'm setting up camp in this doghouse
You don't understand how easy it is for the wrong words to come out
Maybe someday I'll tie up my mouth
Maybe someday I'll tie up my mouth
It's okay to take some time to find you
Confidence is what I've always tried to give to you
Not seen you in the flesh,
but I can still feel your head on my chest,
and it's worth it just to think of you
I'm setting up camp in this doghouse
You don't understand how easy it is for the wrong words to come out
Maybe someday I'll tie up my mouth
Maybe someday I'll tie up my mouth

Frankie Martinelli, you've captured the human experience of introspection and desire for change so masterfully in your poetry. I'm moved by your raw honesty and the lyrical way you negotiate the complexity of regret and longing.
This was so intense and I kinda rapped it to my own tune! It was fantastic!
