"He"

(repeat P2 throughout verse)

Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead

The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done

Pre-chorus

  Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud

  Just give me a chance to hide away

  Exhaustion takes over,

  will this someday be over?

Chorus

  Fearful tears are running down

  The pain you've laid don't speak a sound

  Don't take my heart away from me

  And they think I fell down...

Verse 2

(same as 1)

Daddy, don't you love me?

Then why do you hit me?

And Momma don't you love me

Then why do you hurt me?

Pre-chorus

(same)

Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud

Just give me a chance to hide away

Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

Chorus

[Musical Bridge]: G - Cm*

Verse 3

(play softly)

A teardrop falls from up in the heavens

Drowning the sorrow of angels on high

For the least of the hopeless, the helpless, the

loveless

My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes
