Please Don’t

Verse 1

You don’t remember how laughing worked
the smile you have put on your face
Is the shade of a memory from long ago
You learned that you’re supposed to fight
always struggling life wasn’t easy for you
you turned into someone
who wants to hide inside

Bridge 1

Leave me alone is what you tell everyone
My wounds are not supposed to heal
I want to feel miserable

Chorus

There’s a shine
that wants to break through your eyes
I can see it can feel it although you conceal it
please don’t
Let it out scream it out…

Verse 2

You have your secrets
their buried below tons of anger
in a deep deep place
You get all silent and thoughtful
when somebody’s trying to break
through the surface to reach the core

Bridge 2

I have to forget everything is what you tell yourself
But you can’t and so you run away trying to escape

Chorus

There’s a shine
that wants to break through your eyes
I can see it can feel it although you conceal it
please don’t
Let it out scream it out…
