I cry because you love me and I am afraid to love you back
I cry because I know that there are a lot of things that I lack
Because I've severed bonds that I hold so dear
I cry because there is an end that I do not fear
I cry because I need to take a stand
I cry because I quiet my inner man
I cry because Corinne Bailey Rae healed me a little when I wasn't trying to be
I cry because when I run into the darkness for refuge there is a love that I still can see
Because excepting responsibility is always present and demanding
I cry because with you I don't know my current standing
I cry because it is the only way I know to lift the weight
I cry because all the beauty inside me is trying to escape
I know that I spiral down into the abymaloldsoullove when I close my eyes
But I cry because I stand behind myself whispering lies
I cry because I allow myself to
I cry because I keep myself from loving you
