I tell myself to be strong
now that it\'s gone
but the tears scream
and beat on the back of my eyes
and beg me to release them
and these tears,
they tell me that I\'m weak
and they constantly speak
of my flaws
and my faults
but this blood,
it tells me I can make it through
at least another day
if I can handle this pain,
I can handle the rest
but these tears,
still they scream
and beat on the back of my eyes
and beg me to release them
and this heart of mine
taunts me,
and mocks me,
and tempts me to tear it from my chest
but these blisters
they save me
and scar me
and tell me
I can get through the night
if I just
