tears form
in my eyes
i try not to let them show

i turn my head
so you will not know

my heart
so deep in my throat
chokin' me
tryin' to release
the pain within

so difficult
breathin'
to stay alive

i feel the knots in the pit
of my stomach
kneel down side by side

askin' permission
and beggin'
a second chance
for the tears
to come down my cheek

my blood rushes
not knowin'
which way to go

my heart woke up alone
and confused
as it removed itself
from where it belongs

my heart
feels so weak
with a heartbeat so faint

my heart, tryin' to escape
searchin' a dark place
to hide and cry

my heart drowned
by my tears
remains beatin'
and searchin' for you
