What Hurts Most

Shut it out
In the dark
You can’t find me
Where I hide

I can’t say
What I want
Because I’m scared of
Where it leads

Keep it back
Clutched inside
It hurts so bad but
I have no choice

Feel my hand
Cold as my stare
I can’t let you any
Nearer to me

Because what hurts most
Is when you see my hurt
And that ache is worse
Than all my silent pain
And if I’m alone
I can handle what I am
If I’m alone

So stay away from me
It may be hell but there's a breeze
And the vultures prey
But they're caught up in the trees
Please stay away from me
And leave me all alone
Leave me alone
