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


CHORUS
