Disappear
Stephen Speaks Lyrics

In your eyes a moment ago
The singer noticed something intense in the listener's eyes

I saw fire and rain
The singer saw a conflicting range of emotions

Shortly after you smiled at me
The listener put on a façade of happiness

It all melted to pain
The happy moment was quickly replaced with sadness

You cannot be true to me
The listener can't be honest with the artist

Until you're true to yourself
The listener needs to come to terms with their own feelings

When you say you have to leave
The listener is using an excuse to avoid confronting their emotions

You put your heart on a shelf
The listener is repressing their feelings and refusing to be vulnerable

What taught you that you've gotta run
The artist questions the listener's instinct to avoid real emotions

What inspires this fear
The artist wonders what is causing the listener to feel this way

When you start to feel something real
The singer hopes the listener will embrace genuine emotions

You always disappear, you have to disappear
The listener consistently avoids facing emotions and disappears from the artist's life

I want to get inside of you
The singer is interested in understanding the listener

Find what makes you tick
The singer seeks to understand the listener's motivations

But you can see I am getting thin
The singer is tired of trying to connect with the listener

And your walls are too thick
The listener is guarded and not willing to open up

I've given my heart and mind
The artist has invested emotionally in the relationship

What more can I do
The singer is at a loss for how to make things work between them

When you cash out anytime
The listener is unreliable and withdraws from the relationship easily

You see I'm getting through
The artist feels they are making progress in breaking down the listener's walls

I know you have dreams
The artist acknowledges the listener has aspirations

Don't hold them inside
The artist encourages the listener to share their dreams

Take hold of your heart
The singer wants the listener to embrace their emotions

And open it wide
The artist wants the listener to be vulnerable and open

I know you have fears
The singer understands the listener is scared

Just push them aside
The singer encourages the listener to overcome their fears

You'll never feel love
The singer believes the listener can't experience true love without confronting their emotions

If you never try
The artist encourages the listener to take a chance on love
