It’s Hard to Speak My Heart Ben Platt

[LEO]
It's hard to speak my heart
I'm not a man who bares his soul
I let the moment pass 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 liе
You can't believe I'd do thеse 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
