From The Heart
Hiding From The Tears
I try to relax, I try to do the best I can, i try to
conquer what lies behind the faces of many people, I try
to understand why everyone has left me, why my heart keeps
breakin', why I can't go on, why I keep fallin' in love.
I try to be strong instead of weak, I try to fight the battles
that's inside my head, I try to help people out but I receive
nothing in return. I try so hard to do right by God, by my
family, I try in many ways to do what I can, when I can.
When I lay down at night and I dream of you, I try my
hardest to remember every word, every move, every dream I have.
I try to satisfy the people I love most in my life but can't, I
try to be happy instead of depressed. I try to hide my pain but can't.
I try to express my feelings, my emotions but it's hard, I try
to stay in church and be a christian but things go wrong, I try
so much to be in with the crowd but there's no way or no how.
I try with all my heart to share my love but I fail.
I need to quit putting myself down, I need to quit losing
hope, I need to quit giving up, I need to quit hiding from
the tears I've longed to cry, I need to quit being stressed,
I need to just let my feelings show. I need to get a hold
on to myself and realize this is reality.
