Please Don’t

V
Please don’t ask so I don’t have to tell
Please don’t try to understand my hell
Please don’t force me to talk it through
Opening up is something I can't do
C
I’ll break down
I’ll crumble inside
My walls were built
To keep in the tide
crashing floodwaters
will weaken sand and stone
carrying away every grain
that I have called my own
V
Please don't look inside this painful place
Please don't touch my tear-stained face
Please don’t sing your healing song
Once you do my composure'll be gone
C
I’ll break down
I’ll crumble inside
My walls were built
To keep in the tide
crashing floodwaters
will weaken sand and stone
carrying away every grain
that I have called my own
B
Hiding from you
wont bring me pain
never seeing you
defeats the rain
Missing you
Keeps me from
C
breaking down
crumbling inside
My walls were built
To keep in the tide
crashing floodwaters
will weaken sand and stone
carrying away every grain
that I have called my own
