I push all my problems to the back of my mind Then they surface in my dreams, they come alive I sweep all my issues to somewhere I can't find In hope that I'll forget but there's just so many times Why can't I be strong and just confront all my fears? When my fear is hurting you by being sincere But how many more days can I run? How many years? Emotions flooding and now it's all seeming so clear Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down I felt strong but am I breaking now? Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep I made promises I could not keep 'Cause I never faced all the pain I caused Now the pain is hitting me full force I push all my problems to the back of my brain A darkness deep inside where I just can't find my way How can I walk with a smile? Get on with my day When I deceived myself pretending it's all okay I tried my best to hold it all together, I know The strings have worn away and now I'm all exposed I try to hide it all away on top of the shelf I can lie to everyone but not to myself Crying for no reason feel the tears roll down I felt strong but am I breaking down? Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep I made promises I could not keep 'Cause I never faced all the pain I caused Now the pain is hitting me full force Forgive me now 'Cause I said that I'll be there for you Care for you I let you down, I walked away 'Cause there were things I couldn't say to you Say to you I'm breaking now I burned some bridges down There must be some way out The voices speak so loud Will you forgive me now? I burned some bridges down There must be some way out The voices speak so loud Will you forgive me now? Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down I felt strong but am I breaking now? Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep I made promises I could not keep But I never faced all the pain I caused Now the pain is hitting me full force
