Cracks in the mask

What do I do when the cracks appear?
My mask is slipping tear by tear
How do I cope when you're not here?
Knowing it will go on year by year
Help me Lord to surrender all
I am slowly sinking: ready to fall

People look and see this face
Cannot comprehend this grieving place
Nobody can really come inside
For this is where I hide the tide
The tears keep coming: flowing down
Torrents cleansing out these frowns

But 

What do I do when the cracks appear?
My mask is slipping tear by tear
How do I go on living here?
Knowing you are but a dream: it's clear
Help me! I want to scream out loud!
Nobody can hear me in the crowd

People watch me as I walk on by
Probably wondering why I cry?
It's because I'm grieving for you
Sleeping less as I carry on through
Waking up without you there
Not even seeing you in your chair

So 

What do I do when the cracks appear?
My mask is slipping tear by tear
How do I cope when you're not here?
Knowing it will go on year by year
Help me Lord to surrender all
Catch me for I'm beginning to fall
