Cry
Here I am a mess of emotions
Afraid to let them out
I don’t want to feel out of control
Yet I am not sure that there is any
Stopping that if I
Cry
In a room full of people
And I still feel all alone
I miss my best friend
My shoulder to lean on
When I needed to
Cry
I feel my eyes start to water
I better go and hide
I wouldn’t want anyone to see
The pain I feel inside
I don’t want them to see me
Cry
It’s going to be a long night
That is for sure
Nightmare after nightmare
Why can’t the memories give me a little rest?
I feel so drained
Weak and defeated
I feel like I am fighting a never-ending battle
And I have the short end of the stick
I keep wondering if I am
Always going to fight this alone
So many times I have been told
To let those teardrops fall
Yet here I am fighting them
Daring my self not to
Cry
Even though in my heart I wish I could just let go
I wish I had someone
To cry on
