Turn away

If my tears should stain my face
Then please just turn away
My tears are not for sympathy,
Not to force someone to stay

A degree of helplessness I feel
Like everything's worth nothing
Like waking up on Christmas Day
To nothing in your stocking

Although I know i am feeling tired
I know i will not sleep.
And It's around this time I know
That i may start to weep

If my tears should stain my face
Then please just turn away
My tears are not for sympathy,
Not to force someone to stay

Concentration that's long gone
Focus completely shot
And mistakes I'm making as a result
See my confidence just rot

The result of all this low mood
This anxiety and stress
Mean tears are never far away
And I'm a total mess

If my tears should stain my face
Then please just turn away
My tears are not for sympathy,
Not to force someone to stay

If you should find me quiet
And not in the mood to talk
Then simply turn around because
It's easier to walk

Than to suffer time with me like this,
I really understand.
I'd not wish me on anyone
It's like drowning on dry land

If my tears should stain my face
Stay with me please, i need
My friends around to help me through
And stem this flowing bleed
