Softly

I don't need you to say

Pain is coming close

I know all too well

By the force of your hand

I am so afraid

You have crushed my will

As my tears run softly down

I ask you to stop

You continue anyway

Is this what you call love

As I shut my eyes

I could have been free

Without your chains

But my tears still run softly down

Will I ever know

A life away from you

As my tears still run softly down
