Tin

shed a tear for me
for what i'll never be
for what i've left behind
tonight
i asked too much of you
was too afraid of what i'd see
in me

and i've never seen you crying
but i don't mind
and i wanted you to be there
when i died tonight

don’t cry for who i’ve been
he’s dead and gone after tonight
bear witness to my sins
in silence
he drowned my life in lies
just kept them coming, flowing in
inside

and i've always been afraid of you
but i don't mind
and i didn't know who lived in me
but that can't make it right

and i'm afraid of you and i'm afraid for you and i'm afraid of you and i'm afraid for you
and i'm afraid of you and i'm afraid for you and i'm afraid of you and what i do to you

and how many times have i run from you
a burned little child
and i couldn’t say what i needed to hear
my answers erased with a smile

and i don't know a thing

you've held my whole world on your shoulders
held this broken child
don’t mourn the self i’ve left behind me
now
or tonight
