Save me from all my failings
I'm only human
And made of clay
I know,
I distance myself
From unnamed emotion
To keep the ancient fears at bay

Listen when I say to you
I think my heart is breaking through
Let your fingers touch my pain
So I can find the tears again
And the art of crying
The lost art of crying

Reach for me in my indifference
It's hurt I'm hiding from
I just can't feel
And I am
Overcome and vulnerable in silence
All expression unrevealed

Listen when I say to you
I think my heart is breaking through
Let your fingers touch my pain
So I can find the tears again
And the art of crying
The lost art of crying

I want to feel the wetness on my face
And feel the sobbing starting
And the art of crying
The lost art of crying

Listen when I say to you
I think my heart is breaking through
Let your fingers touch my pain
So I can find the tears again
And the art of crying
The lost art of crying
