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 as I bleed myself dry
See
straight into me
Just look beyond the tears in my eyes
A million things
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 as I bleed myself dry
See
straight into me
Just look beyond the fear in my eyes
Like a circle around me
As the prison of this boundary
I need a storm to break it down
Shield you 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 away through my eyes
Where I can see through my lies
Every tear I cry
Makes trails in the ice
Where I am warm inside
