Suffer in Silence
(Wayne Kirkpatrick/Billy Sprague)
Heart in a bottle
High on a shelf
Fragile but just out of reach
'Cause you build a fortress
With the distance you keep
But when your heart aches
Doesn't it cut deep?
CHORUS
Well, you don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
You don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
Don't you know that your heart can feel like an anchor
When you keep it all inside
No don't, don't suffer in silence
Withered with sadness
Hurting inside
But feeling afraid to impose
So you're an island
But you don't have to be
'Cause if you're inclined
You can talk to me
But, you don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
You don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
Oh, I know that the pain can seem like an ocean
But I'm just a word away
No don't, don't suffer in silence
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your retreat
I'll be your shield against the wind
So, if you need a shoulder
For the tears that you keep
Let it come down
Let it rain on me
'Cause, you don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
You should never have to suffer
Suffer in silence
Oh, I will hear when you're calling
Like a voice above the storm
No don't, don't suffer in silence
