Jeffrey Lesser - Leo's Statement: "It's Hard To Speak My Heart..." lyrics

[LEO] It's hard to speak my heart I'm not a man who bares his soul I let the moment pa** me by— I stay where I am in control I hide behind my work Safe and sure of what to say... I know I must seem hard I know I must seem cold I never touched that girl You think I'd hurt a child yet? I'd hardly seen her face before I swear—I swore—we'd barely met These people try to scare you With things I've never said I know it makes no sense. I swear I don't know why... You see me as I am You can't believe I'd lie You can't believe I'd do these deeds— A little man who's scared and blind Too lost to find the words he needs I never touched that child— God! I never raised my hand! I stand before you now, Incredibly afraid... I pray you understand.
