How deep does the pain go
Let’s cut down and see
Watch how much the the blood flows
Like life out of me

How long will the tears flow
Will they ever run dry
I am so surprised
That I can still cry

How far does my love get
Does it reach to your heart
Mine breaks every moment
That we spend apart

What age will my life end
I hope long from now
To watch my kids grow up
And make me so proud

Bound, broken, bleeding
I lay there at your feet
You ask for what you need
But your eyes I cannot meet
I fear that I’ll disappoint
And that makes me pull away
I want to bear my soul to you
To show how I really feel
But even after all these years
I feel you might turn me away
Before my chances dwindle
And the time all disappears
Please know you are the only one
I could have given all my years
If there is nothing else to know
I hope you already do
I love you with all my being
And will forever more

I wonder at the universe
So vast, empty, cold
And realise it’s easy
To feel so all alone
We are all just a tiny dot
Living tiny lives
Insignificant to the universe
Just as tiny flies
So while we live our little lives
Try to make a big impression
So you will be remembered
For a few more generations

How many voices in my head
You are not worthy one has said
Another just wants to be dead
I listen not to these

One says that no one is like me
That’s just because I’m crazy
I’m trapped in here never to be free
I listen not to he

Another says he is a friend
But whispers to me it’s the end
No more he thinks my life should wend
I listen not to him

But in the clamour and the buzz
I here a voice that says I’m loved
I think it comes from heaven above
To that I have to listen

My struggle happens day to day
For love is why I kneel and pray
That’s why I know I’ll be okay
I listen just to me

Heartache is a friend of mine
We are as close as brothers
We walk together everyday
Along with many others
So many think us weak to show
How much we feel inside
A person now is only strong
If they go on alone besides
I shed a tear every day
For those that don’t survive
That feel there is no other way
Than taking their own lives
All it takes to save these souls
Is time and understanding
To be listened to a little
And told they are worth something

I smile to hide the pain away
I laugh to hide the sorrow
I lie awake in bed at night
Fearing tomorrow
Another day of hiding
The way I feel inside
Putting on the mask again
So others think I’m fine
I know I’m not alone at all
I have my family
But no one knows how hard it is
To show my anxieties
So I smile to hide the pain away
And no one wants to see

If your told real men don't cry,
Ask the question then, why?
The soldiers in Afghanistan,
Will cry whenever they lose a man,
They're brave and strong,
Real men I'd say,
They take whatever comes their way,
They risk their lives so you are safe,
They never ask what you can give,
A real man will cry to show,
The death of a comrade is real sorrow,
One hero less upon this earth,
A man that showed his real worth,
So if your told real men don't cry,
Then ask that person,
Really, why?
