Lyrics
Peer into the heart of human darkness
You won?t even cry, you?ll just feel the hardness
Evil hardens the heart beyond tearlessness
As you toughen up against the fearfulness
Chorus:
And I, I couldn?t cry
My eyes were dry
And my heart was tied
No I, I couldn?t cry
I was petrified
My feelings denied
My defense against pain became permanent
I built walls hard as stone and high as the firmament
Your gentleness melted my fortress down
Tears released and my heart unbound
And I, I couldn?t cry
My eyes were dry
And my heart was tied
No I, I couldn?t cry
I was petrified
My feelings denied
I can weep for sorrow
I can weep for joy
I can cry at all
I can feel at all
Your love has taken down my wall
(Yah you know) Your love has taken down my wall
Cause I, I couldn?t cry
My eyes were dry
And my heart was tied
No I, I couldn?t cry
I was petrified
My feelings denied
