Don't Let Them See

I have to hold it back
I have to keep it in
Can't let them see me weak
Can't let them think they'll win

I feel it welling up
I feel my chest compress
My hands begin to tremble
My thoughts are all mess

My eyes will start to water
My heart will start to race
My breathing will get heavy
And they'll see it on my face

I can't let them see my tears
They'll take advantage of my pain
I can't let them know I'm hurting
Or they'll make me hurt again
