Half of Everything

Half liked by those who know me
Half known by the folks who like me

Half drawn into corners
Corners that we've drawn

I've got to rip this blanket from my mouth
You can't tell all, the secrets will get out
We protect the ones who hurt us most of all
They know

Have you ever been certain that you couldn't live?
And did you ever change your mind about a thing that you've said in about an instant?
Only four letters to be met with indifference
Did you ever beat your own disability?
Have you ever had some secrets you just couldn't tell?
Cause you'll only get blamed for what they did
And you helped hide so well

So you hold on tighter just to have one
Just to have a support system

I've got to rip this blanket from my mouth
You can't tell all, the secrets will get out
We protect the ones who hurt us most of all
