It's been piling up
these emotions I hide inside
It's begun to boil over
Flooding my heart, tearing at my soul
And still I fight to stay the way I am
Wearing this mask for all to see
Count to ten but I only get to three
You're screaming again and I'm begging for you to stop
I'm on my knees with tears in my eyes
My words cutting through the night, cursing the darken sky
Your raised fist falls and I know it's time to hide again
It's been piling up
These emotions, there eating me alive
My soul -- it's begun to fade
Battered and bruised, buried beneath your un-loving words
Your hands, they're course and un-kind
And still I fight to stay the way I am
Wearing this mask for all to see
With a twist and one turn, I'm walking away
Scorn and tattered, hidden bruises, buried secrets I'll take them all with me
But it's you I don't need
No, not anymore
It was never love, I see that now
For you would have never said those things so un-kind
And your fist wouldn't have ever left a mark
So this is my one last goodbye
My one last look in your eyes. . .
It's been boiling over
and I'm not taking it anymore.
