pain inside
They look at me with hopeful eyes See a savior, strong and wise But in the quiet of my lonely night My own strength is losing light Checked the balance, a familiar sting Another empty, echoing thing Digits diving, painted red A silent scream inside my head They expect me to be the hero, a shining knight To chase the darkness, bring the light But this heavy crown, it weighs me down, I can't pretend My last dollar fading, 'round the bend So I'm putting it all on You, God, with every single breath Caught between hope and this slow death Yeah, I'm crying inside, where no one sees Just praying You'll bring me to my knees and ease. Wear a smile for morning's call Pretend that everything’s standing tall Nod and listen, offer cheer Swallowing down my own deep fear Every bill a mountain high Watching my own fortress die The phone rings, I let it go A solitary, silent show They expect me to be the hero, a shining knight To chase the darkness, bring the light But this heavy crown, it weighs me down, I can't pretend My last dollar fading, 'round the bend So I'm putting it all on You, God, with every single breath Caught between hope and this slow death Yeah, I'm crying inside, where no one sees Just praying You'll bring me to my knees and ease. I've got nothing left to give, no magic left to weave Just a tattered heart that barely dares to believe This burden's crushing, I can't hold it anymore I'm at Your altar now, knocking at Your door Empty hands, an empty soul, a spirit wearing thin Please, God, let new life finally begin. They expect me to be the hero, a shining knight To chase the darkness, bring the light But this heavy crown, it weighs me down, I can't pretend My last dollar fading, 'round the bend So I'm putting it all on You, God, with every single breath Caught between hope and this slow death Yeah, I'm crying inside, where no one sees Just praying You'll bring me to my knees and ease. They think I'm strong, they never know The tears that secretly flow Just me, and You, and this red line Praying for a brighter sign... Praying for a brighter sign...
