Breaking

I can see the tear tracks on your face That no amount of makeup can erase And I can tell the difference in your smile You hide the bad with subterfuge and style And pain's not just a cut or scrape When deep inside you can't escape It's like a pane of glass inside that breaks You're breaking You're breaking And the walls they fall around you And the silence it surrounds you So you curl yourself up in a ball And crawl in bed You're breaking Breaking But baby when you're blue I'll be next to you You know that it's true I'll be next to you When you're torn in two I'll be next to you And I can talk to you across the miles Read between the lines of texts and smiles My sixth sense feels the things you hide The sadness that you won't confide So hidden underneath all of your pride You're breaking Breaking And the walls they fall around you And the silence it surrounds you So you curl yourself up in a ball And crawl in bed You're breaking Breaking But baby when you're blue I'll be next to you You know that it's true I'll be next to you When you feel torn in two I'll be next to you I can see the tear tracks on your face... 2023 Words & Music by Daniel Holleran Smelly Cow Music Ltd.
