Pearly Gates

Your try to hide your pain

behind your charms

You avoid your pain

in another one's arms

:

You try to pretend

that you don't really feel

Drop the act

Let's be real

:

You hide your emotions behind your teeth

Those beautiful ivory gate keepers

But I'm someone that you can't deceive

Because I know you better than these

:

You smile like nothings wrong

A grin in a million blocking

what you won't say from what you want

:

But you can't fool me

I feel your soul whisper the truth

:

You don't say the things

that you really should

Your past is keeping you

from what's right here in front of you

:

I can feel the fear from your past

infecting your unhealed wounds

Your emotional failures

keeping you from something good

:

Be real, my love

Don't you wait

Open up those pearly gates

:

Let your tongue dance ballet

Instead of binding her feet

:

Say how you really feel

instead of what fear makes you think
