I Cried A River

For you I cried a river
and an ocean so deep
the love you showed me
made my heart so very weak
I fought for you
when I could not fight for myself
all my friends would always say
'jessica, find you someone else'
For you I cried a river
and a valley so wide
regardless of what you went through
I was found by your side
Helping on every hand
the best way I should
doing everything that was possible
that a good woman could
For you, I cried a river
and a mountain so high
but now as I look back over us-
I noticed, All i did was cry.

Hide In My Own Tears

I never been good at running
because i foolishly run back

The world can't hear my cries
But they see my tears
The world don't see my darkest insecurities
But they do see my fears.

When I start to run, I trip and fall
From then I must find my mistake
and even if it means doing the same thing
I'll give it all it takes

So I've decided to stop running
and in my sorrows abide
So instead of running
I go out and hide
Instead of letting what i feel be open
