Lyrics
Trying to Cope
Written by: Lyrics - eddie green/Music Andrew Schanck ? 4/13/04
Verse I:
Well I?m broken down, It seems I have no voice
You?ve given me no choice?again
I bury my anguish in my pillow and scream with all my might
Get back in touch tonight?
I stare down at the gleaming peace upon my desk
I feel the glide of the blade, see the blood confess?my sin
The only thing I feel is the pain that is there
Chorus:
Take this all away?..I?m running inside with nowhere to hide
Slam the door, throw myself on the floor and cry out?.
Take this all away?.take this burden I cannot bear
The only thing I feel is the pain that is there?
You?ve got to take it away!
Verse II:
Well another day comes, and I put on my cosmetic smile
Face the day, coping for awhile?it seems
What will push me over the edge?
What?s sad is that I would rather die?.than live.
Push back the sleeves to reveal the scars of emptiness I feel
Oh God, can?t you hear me, what do I do?
I?m so lost without You, without You!!!!!
Bridge:
Tell me You love me, that it will be all right, please forgive me tonight?.
Tell me You?re there when no one cares, God I surrender, I cry out?..
