suffer in silence

I found this song on an old tape from a youth retreat. It is meaningful to me, but I can't say that I always talk to the Lord as much as I would like. I found the lyrics here.

Suffer In Silence
Susan Aglukark

Heart in a bottle
High on a shelf
Fragile, but just out of reach
'Cause you build a fortress
Within the distance you keep
But when your heart aches
Doesn't it cut deep?

You don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
You don't have to suffer
Suffer in silence
Don't you konw that your
Heart can feel like an anchor
When you keep it all inside
No, no, don't suffer in silence

Withered in sadness
And 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, no, 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 'em 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, no, don't suffer in silence

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, no, don't suffer in silence.
