Stories Untold

You were young and should be still
But your world is no longer gold
Your heart aches, you feel ill
From all the pain your memories hold

And I stare into your eyes
So young yet, you feel so old
You carry the burden of heavy lies
Within your stories untold

And each day you grow older
Wondering why the world's so cold
You cried on my shoulder
And I watched your life unfold

Running; afraid to lose trace
Of what you once controlled
Watch your step; you'll lose your place
Within your stories untold

You've never known a soul that cared
So many truths you haven't told
Reveal your past you haven't shared
And build yourself a new mold

Give anything to take it back
If you would be so bold
Trade what you have for what you lack
Within your stories untold
