How Many Times:

Sit down, be still for awhile, give up your troubles
And I know, that it hurt you like hell
But the scars built a wall, and your eyes are sewn
What you are, isn't far, from overthrown

So you hold it down, and you drown it out

How many times have you cried?
How many times has it been there?
How many times have you cried?
And have the walls been closing in on you?

Stand up, and squeeze all the rest, lets test your patience
And I know, busted as it seems
You take it on, pick it up, make another one
Because you're healthy, like an ocean, though you've never gone

So you hold it down, and you drown it out

How many times have you cried?
How many times has it been there?
How many times have you cried?
And have the walls been closing in on you?
