If This Is Not a Place
If this is not a place where tears are understood,
where can I go to cry?
If this is not a place where my spirit can take wing,
where can I go to fly?
I don't need another place for trying to impress you
with just how good and virtuous I am.
I don't need another place for always being on top of things,
ev'rybody knows that it's a sham.
I don't need another place for always wearing smiles,
even when it's not the way I feel.
I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes,
'Cause you and I both know that it's not real.
If this is not a place where my questions can be asked
where can I go to seek?
If this is not a place where my heart cries can be heard
where can I go to speak?
I don't need another place for trying to impress you
with just how good and virtuous I am.
I don't need another place for always being on top of things,
ev'rybody knows that it's a sham.
I don't need another place for always wearing smiles,
even when it's not the way I feel.
I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes,
'Cause you and I both know that it's not real.
If this is not a place where my spirit can take wing, where can I go to fly?
