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
