  • I push all my problems to the back of my mind
    Then they surface in my dreams, they come alive
    I sweep all my issues to somewhere I can't find
    In hope that I'll forget but there's just so many times

    Why can't I be strong and just confront all my fears?
    When my fear is hurting you by being sincere
    But how many more days can I run? How many years?
    Emotions flooding and now it's all seeming so clear

    Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down
    I felt strong but am I breaking now?
    Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep
    I made promises I could not keep
    'Cause I never faced all the pain I caused
    Now the pain is hitting me full force

    I push all my problems to the back of my brain
    A darkness deep inside where I just can't find my way
    How can I walk with a smile? Get on with my day
    When I deceived myself pretending it's all okay

    I tried my best to hold it all together, I know
    The strings have worn away and now I'm all exposed
    I try to hide it all away on top of the shelf
    I can lie to everyone but not to myself

    Crying for no reason feel the tears roll down
    I felt strong but am I breaking down?
    Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep
    I made promises I could not keep
    'Cause I never faced all the pain I caused
    Now the pain is hitting me full force

    Forgive me now
    'Cause I said that I'll be there for you
    Care for you
    I let you down, I walked away
    'Cause there were things I couldn't say to you
    Say to you
    I'm breaking now

    I burned some bridges down
    There must be some way out
    The voices speak so loud
    Will you forgive me now?

    I burned some bridges down
    There must be some way out
    The voices speak so loud
    Will you forgive me now?

    Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down
    I felt strong but am I breaking now?
    Crying for no reason 'cause I buried it deep
    I made promises I could not keep
    But I never faced all the pain I caused
    Now the pain is hitting me full force Writer/s: GORDON WARREN, GUY CHAMBERS, KATIE BRIEN
