How Long?

Tears held back
Causing more pain in the heart
How much do I let out?
You don't want me to start.

I want to move on
I want to be strong
But it hurts deep inside
The feeling isn't wrong.

He hurt me so bad
Where do I begin?
Lie after lie
It had no end.

Guys that are true
Say "baby let me hold you"
"Let me mend that heart back"
"I promise I'll stay true"

I stare at them with fear
And wrap myself around
Don't want to come near...
Don't want to wear the crown.

The tears fill in again
Like water in a glass
How will I remain this way?
How long will it last?
