Don'T Think
Don’t Think
Don't scorn me for my lies
Don't deny me my prize
If you don't know what it's like
To be trapped inside this mind
In time our hearts will change
In the light my face looks strange
If you don't feel my pain
Don't hide your tears in my rain
Fall and break
And don't blame
Anyone else
For scars you gave yourself
Fall on your knees to the floor
Beg for strength beg for more
If you go where you went before
Crawl back through that dark door
Fall and break
And don't blame
Anyone else
For scars you gave yourself
In your closet hang your ways
Ink runs off your tear-stained page
If you want to run away
Don't forget who you will pay
Fall and break
And don't blame
Anyone else
For scars you gave yourself
Lay down put your hurt to rest
Let the weight escape your chest
If you want to be my guest
Face this never-ending test
