I'm laughing with everyone now
I'm talking normally
Suddenly I don't know how
I don't know how to breathe
My throat feels tight
And my living weakens me
So, when we're walking alright
I suddenly freeze
It hurts not to have to cry
In front of people's eyes
Who don't know the things that I
Don't let them see
The dam breaks when I close the door
I can't hold it anymore
And my eyes let go of my tears
Dear light of my life
You are my biggest fear
Last tear before I die
Will you be there for me?
