Don't Leave Me This Way

How many times can I say

what has already been said?

I can't stop the thoughts

that rush through my head.

How do I take the pain

that no one should feel?

How do I tell You

I'm not made of steel?

Why do I keep asking

what I've asked You before?

How often must I tell You

I can't take much more?

How much can I cry

until I run out of tears?

I am terrified in the night,

alone with all my fears.

Why do I keep hearing

what I've heard before, somewhere?

How often have I questioned,

"Do You ever really hear?"

How can I move forward,

when my soul feels so old?

How do I express feelings

that can never be told?

If I had the option,

I would give up this fight,

though deep in my heart,

I know it's not right.

Too often words fail me

when there's nothing left to say.

How many times must I beg You,

"Don't leave me this way?"
