[00:38.62]I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place [00:49.35]Perhaps they're written on my face [01:00.33]Someone took the words away [01:08.12] [01:10.90]Why don't you speak up and say what you mean? [01:21.45]Summon my powers of conversation [01:26.67]I talk to myself, [01:29.36]I'm fine [01:31.94]When you're around, [01:34.76]Then I decline the invitation [01:40.51] [01:43.04]It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied [01:54.07]A change has come over me [01:59.70]I'm powerless to express [02:08.56]Every thing I know but cannot speak [02:15.44]And if I try my voice will break [02:26.17]Someone took the words away [02:36.86]Someone took the words away [02:45.27] [03:37.12] [04:31.48]END
