Hold Back the Tears

By Mikael Erlandsson (1997)
On album Unfamiliar (1997)

Unfamiliar
Wipe the shadows from the wall
Just like those beggars in the hall
They sell their souls and walk away
And find themselves most every day

But I wonder if they care at all
Who knows, they might realize
Why they're crying over me

Please hold back the tears
I will last for many years
And then bring back those joyful cheers
So your hurt will disappear
Why don't you tell me your name?
Just tell me your name

I decide to never die
My spirit stays here for a while
All I did for you was love

Please hold back the tears
I will last for many years
And then bring back those joyful cheers
So your hurt will disappear
Why don't you tell me your name?
Just tell me your name

Just open your eyes
There's a man behind the mask
You're haunted by the spirit of a dream
Just do it for me

Please hold back your tears
I will last for many years
And then bring back those joyful cheers
So your hurt will disappear

Please hold back the tears
I will last for many years
And then bring back those joyful cheers
So your hurt will disappear
Why don't you tell me your name?
Just tell me your name
