don´t try to reach me, i´m already dead
the pain when it grips me, for things that i´ve done

well i try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
just give me a chance to hide away
exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?
chorus:
fearful tears are running down
the pain you´ve laid don´t speak a sound
don´t take my heart away from me
and they think i fell down
daddy, don´t you love me?
then why do you hit me?
and momma don´t you love me
then why do you hurt me?
well i try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
just give me a chance to hide away
exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?
[chorus]
a teardrop falls from up in the heavens
drowning the sorrow of angels on high
for the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless
my jesus, his children, he holds in his eyes
