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
~~*~~
