Far Too Long
You have been afraid for far too long
Why does your heart keep singing that song?
Why do the tears choke your throat?
What are you hiding that I don't know?
I've held your hand as you've sat and cried
I was there when parts of you died
I saw the hate burning in her eyes
But it's over now
Don't you understand?
You are brave and you are strong
You've been angry far too long
Your heart repeats that broken song
Why are your eyes dry?
Why don't you let me cry?
It's gone, it's over, there is no more
You walked away - you closed the door
But here you are ringing the bell
Why are you returning to this hell?
Happiness and pain melts into one
You've locked me away
You turned to run
But I built a wall and there's nowhere to go
So face what you're afraid of and let me know
