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 while I bleed myself dry

See straight into me

Just look beyond the tears in my eyes

A million things I 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 while I bleed myself dry

See straight into me

Just look beyond the fear in my eyes

Bridge like a circle around me

Is the prison of this boundary

I need a storm to break it down

Shield your 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 a way through my eyes

Where I see through my lies

Every tear I cry

Makes trails in the ice

Where I am warm inside
