A Million Tears

A million things I want to say
But I shield my face and turn away
Swallowing my words, silenced by shame.

A million tears I want to cry
But I shield my face and dry my eyes
Swallowing my hurt, breaking inside.

Please stay here with me
Just hold me while I bleed myself dry
See straight into me
Just look beyond the tears in my eyes.

A million things I wish you would say
Even if I fall that you will stay
And none of my flaws can turn you away.

Please stay here with me
Just hold me while I bleed myself dry
See straight into me
Just look beyond the fear in my eyes.

Bridge like a circle around me
Is the prison of this boundary
I need a storm to break it down
Shield your eyes from the fire light
But please don't turn away from my side
I am not that, which I fight.

Every tear I cry
Burns a way through my eyes
Where I see through my lies.

Every tear I cry
Makes trails in the ice
Where I am warm inside.
