Whispers As You Walk On By

Staring, as tears flood my damp reflection
Droplets falling with such ease
Just knowing somehow it all slipped away
Too far to grasp, near enough to tease

So sick of this never ending depression
And the sadness that it brings
My heart is closed, my hands so tired from cradling
My hopes and dreams

I bleed and I bleed
Over and over
Once upon a time
Crossed out with your pen
Lately, I'm slipping

So if I whisper when I speak
As tears roll down my face
And if I seem a little weak
And if I start to cry
You just walk on by
Please... just walk on by

And you'd think that I'd be happy
By the smile worn on my face
But look a little closer, you'll see
Pain always leaves it's trace

Disillusioned with the bitter taste
Of sad lullabies and dismay
You used to sing me to sleep
But you don't look at me today

This wasn't how things were meant to be
Someone tell me where I went wrong
Today I opened my eyes, now I see
I've been alone...all along

I cry and I cry
Over and over
Once upon a time
Crossed out with your pen
Lately, I'm slipping

So if I whisper when I speak
As tears roll down my face
And if I seem a little weak
And if I start to cry
You just walk on by
Please...just walk on by

I'm so ready to let go, to lose control
Let somebody else, slip into my soul
And you just want to rewind
Back to my yesterday
You held out your hand, I clung so tight
But I let go, and I let go

So if I whisper when I speak
As tears roll down my face
And if I seem a little weak
And if I start to cry
You just walk on by
Please... just walk on by
