BRUSH THE VEIL ASIDE

We’re taught to be strong when we’re children

You fall down and you’re told to get up

Someone calls you names 

You just walk away 

Until you have had enough

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

~~*~~ 

Whispers and stares in the hallway

Being alone and left out

Once knowing you’re smarter and better

Now feeling the millstone of doubt

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

~~*~~

Ahhh…to love and cherish

Reservations are put to rest

Then you die deep inside

From the hurt you can’t hide

He’s consumed the you that was left

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

~~*~~
