Tears

I try so hard to hide my pain
Holding it inside of me,
Then I found a place to be alone
And there I begin to cry

I don't want anyone to see me this way
As the tears stream down my face
I cry for the love I feel is lost forever
How I wish I didn't have to leave this place

To just disappear forever
Or to curl up and just to die
To just shield my heart from love
Is the reason that makes me cry

Watching my life slip away
Like an hour glass full of sand
Yes, I cry for love
And yes, I am a man
