Leo's Statement: "It's Hard To Speak My Heart" - Brent Carver

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, yes?
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.
