I Suffer In Silence

I HAVE SUFFERED IN SILENCE

WITH EACH TEAR I HAVE CRIED

MAKING ME EMPTY

OF FEELINGS INSIDE

SLEEP DOES EVADE ME

WITH DAYBREAK COMES PAIN

OF HOW MY HEARTS BREAKING

NOTHING WILL CHANGE

I WISH AWAY DAYTIME

YET, AFRAID OF THE NIGHTS

THAT  BRING DREAMS  OF  A VOID

THAT HAVE  BECOME MY  LIFE

I KNEW I MUST SUFFER

TO UNDERSTAND  THE PAIN

WALK  IN  ANOTHER'S HEARTBREAK

TO HELP TRY  TO EXPLAIN

THAT SOMETIMES YOU MUST SUFFER

IN SILENCE  TO HEAR

BE ALONE  WITH  THE NIGHT

TO FACE ALL OF YOUR FEAR

YOUR HEART MUST BE  BROKEN

BEFORE  IT CAN HEAL

YOU MUST FALL TO YOUR  KNEES

TO KNOW GOD IS REAL

YES , YOU MUST BE BROKEN

BEFORE YOU CAN SEE

THAT YOUR STRENGTH  IS NOT SPOKEN

IT LIVES IN YOUR DEEDS

SO I WILL SUFFER IN SILENCE

AND WITH EACH TEAR I CRY

I WILL EMPTY THE PAIN

THAT  FILLS ME INSIDE
