I NEED TO CRY

You call me cold 
Say that I can't feel
You're treating me like 
It's the truth
These claims 
Are so unreal
Must I 
Defend myself to you
Why be so cruel

You want to know 
If you let me go
Would it even matter 
To me
So absurd 
I can't believe
How much I love you 
Doesn't show
You're letting go

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I can hear violent waves
Crashing in my ears
But I am nowhere near the sea
Lights are flashing in my eyes
And there's a weight that's bearing down on me
Impressive don't you think
That feeling 
Is a part of me
~~*~~

I need to cry
Bear the need to scream
My heart's requesting a release
I'm faltering it seems
This goodbye
Is the twisted kind
Oh...
I need to cry

I have to leave
Walk away, then run
I really must get out of here
Feel fresh air in my lungs
So hard to actually Breathe
Oh...
I have to leave

Now it's your turn
You explain it please
Why you blame 
Your escape on me
Can't face reality
You wove yourself 
Into my life
I need to cry

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You are a coward
You're the ultimate low
Why don't you just admit it
Tell me the truth before I go
I have trusted you for years
It's clear to me
You just want a goodbye...
And so you lie
I need to cry
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I can hear violent waves
Crashing in my ears
But I am nowhere near the sea
Lights are flashing in my eyes
And there's a weight that's bearing down on me
Impressive don't you think
That feeling 
Is a part of me
~~*~~
