Coping

If you,
Were here with me now,
I wouldn't cry.
If I,
Sing a song,
Maybe I won't cry.
I think,
I'll cry myself to sleep,
And beg, and plead, and wait 'till morning,
Rescues me.

Now,
I can't believe it's over (it's over)
How,
Could I have been so stupid,
To let you go.

(chorus)
Maybe I'll let the tears escape from my eyes.
Maybe I'll just shake off and defy
Anyone,
Who breaks, and brings my heart closer to reality.
I refuse... To hide... Grief.

Life,
has given me so many maybes, ifs, hopes, and dreams.
And stuck my head in the clouds.
But I've,
Grown taller than the skies,
Now I'm up with the stars.
You break,
Then save,
Then tell me it's no use.
You could never be with someone
Higher than the sun.
And I'm alone again.

(chorus)
Maybe I'll let the tears escape from my eyes.
Maybe I'll just shake off and defy,
Anyone,
Who breaks, and brings my heart closer to reality.
I refuse... To hide... Grief.

Nothing's written in stone,
I shouldn't be surprised.
I've been left alone,
So many times.
I learned a lesson, or two,
From all this pain.
Sometimes grief needs to be lived alone,
Or left out in the open.
I find it better... Not to hide.

(Chorus 2x)
Maybe I'll let the tears escape from my eyes.
Maybe I'll just shake off and defy,
Anyone,
Who breaks, and brings my heart closer to reality.
I refuse... To hide... Grief.
