I Cry

i cry because i'm hurt 
i hope somehow it will clean the dirt
from my heart

i cry because
i have given up
for a moment i expose myself

i cry because 
what you said isn't true
and they burn scars into my heart

they never heal
never stop burning

i cry to release
every pressure and pain

i cry
so i don't die
