Lost in Translation

You say, "I'm fine", translation says, "I'm not". You say,

"No worries" but your heartbeat says a lot. You say, "Just joking" but

the joke is dressed as fear. I hear every meaning way too loud inside your

ear. You whisper love, your thoughts shout doubt.

Some secrets really want to stay un-out. I hear what you say,

I know what you mean, and honestly friend, I wish I stayed clean.

The babel fish knows too much tonight. Some things don't need subtitles.

You say, "Call me", translation says, "Don't" .
