Tear Drops

When the barrier's up,  
spoken truth in place  
Finding strength is hard  
to step into that space  
Keeping it at bay  
Backing up to stay  
Respect the only way  
in tear drops as you pray  
 
When the fall is fast,  
reality becomes so real  
Waiting for a dream seems lost  
when denying how you feel  
Keeping it at bay  
Backing up to stay  
Respect the only way  
in tear drops as you pray  
 
When you can't let go  
How do you survive?  
Pretending feels like torture  
as you long to be alive  
Keeping it at bay  
Backing up to stay  
Respect the only way  
in tear drops as you pray
