This Stare

Don't be afraid to say what you want to say
But I'm giving up so you can breathe me in

And out again
Start running for your life
'Cause you know that there's a whole lot more to find
But I will never tell you why

It's mine, to face the world
Without you by my side
I can't turn around

So I am standing in the way
This stare will be the same this time
I lost you for a while
'Cause I could never get it right

But all the tears are made
From bleeding hearts in masquerades
I found it hard to take
'Cause it will never be the same

Don't be ashamed to say what I make you say
But I'm letting go so you can breathe again

But not get away
Stop begging for your life
'Cause you know you'll want a whole lot more alive
But I will never tell you why

It's mine, to face the world
Without you by me

Standing in the way
This stare will be the same this time
I lost you for a while
'Cause I could never get it right

But all the tears are made
From bleeding hearts in masquerades
I found it hard to take
'Cause it will never be the same

The harm is now mine to tell
So you can break what you could never have
And I want you
Fill this cage with thoughts of me

So I will never be the same
So tell me why you will leave the center of my eye

And I'll be standing in the way
This stare will be the same this time
I lost you for a while
'Cause I could never get it right

All the tears are made
From bleeding hearts in masquerades
I found it hard to take
'Cause it will never be the same
