Dam up the river,
Dry those eyes,
Throw away your fears.

Hold your breath,
Let it out slow.
Fake a smile,
Put on a good show.

Hold all of the secrets,
Hold all of the pain,
Lord knows you'll never be the same.

Day after day,
Crying out into the night.
The same nightmare,
The same scare,
The same fear,
The same prayer.
"Just let it end..."
