14 Lyrics - Courage - Paula Cole

Your eyes, they conjure up those cliffs of Moher 

Far away and not listening anymore 

Dreaming of life on another shore 

Not here, not now, with me, the bore 

So I stopped talking, fade to bleak 

Feeling insignificant atrofied and weak 

Even though it's not who I know myself to be 

The queen, the confidence doesn't speak 

But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best 

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah 

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest 

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest 

Your eyes, they drown me in your sadness 

Your words, they bring hurricanes 

I'm braving Shakespearian tempest 

The Mighty Tiger doesn't blink 

But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best 

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah 

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest 

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest 

I think you were the one 

Silent suffering inside 

The one got away 

I was too dangerous to hide 

But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best 

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah 

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest 

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest 

So I stopped talking, baby 

'Cause you always want me to shut up 

Take this ever, stage meanwhile 

While I become you trusted silent prop 

So take good care 

This mighty woman's ready to explode 

Fire here below the surface of my volcano
