Who am I, this guy you see
Do you even know the real me
To you I'm strong, upbeat, funny, and usually positive
While inside I'm battling emotions that dont want to live
Look at the smile it says things are going just fine
But the eyes show a different story this time
They show my weakness, pain, and fears
They hold back a million tears
My eyes are windows into my soul
They keep secret stories untold
No one knows the feelings deep inside
So many tears are left uncried
Only I know the pain ripping at my heart
Deep inside it's tearing me apart
When all alone in my room at night
I close my eyes really tight
I remember a better life
Then reality cuts like a knife
It brings me back to where I am now
Things have all gone wrong somehow
Everyone tells me it'll get better soon
To those words I've become immune
Nothings gets better it only gets worse
Always following a different hearse
I've tried and tried to keep it in
But this time my emotions win
I'm not alright I'm not okay
The pain gets stronger everyday
There's nothing I can do to change the past
So once again I'll put on a mask
But remember even though I smiled
Deep inside I'm a scared lost child
Do you even know the real me
To you I'm strong, upbeat, funny, and usually positive
While inside I'm battling emotions that dont want to live
Look at the smile it says things are going just fine
But the eyes show a different story this time
They show my weakness, pain, and fears
They hold back a million tears
My eyes are windows into my soul
They keep secret stories untold
No one knows the feelings deep inside
So many tears are left uncried
Only I know the pain ripping at my heart
Deep inside it's tearing me apart
When all alone in my room at night
I close my eyes really tight
I remember a better life
Then reality cuts like a knife
It brings me back to where I am now
Things have all gone wrong somehow
Everyone tells me it'll get better soon
To those words I've become immune
Nothings gets better it only gets worse
