Taking a raincheck on one’s feelings
Is a recipe for disaster
Trying to be strong for both of us
Has only made me weaker
World’s greatest armor
Is being in disguise
Only when the chinks start to show
You will know that there is nothing brave
inside
So why
don’t you pull that veil
Make me scream
Say those words and
Save me too?
Ha...The first two lines are an absolute truth. Screaming is healthier :) I love that 'recipe for disaster' expression.

Amen.
And as you show, it is flawed armor with many chinks. I'd rather scream!
Good to know that someone relates to these lines! :D
