Walking down the hall
No emotion can be revealed
Staring blankly at your face
I am laughing so I must be happy
You think you know, but you have no idea
How hard the damage is to erase
For years I've been a liar
Concealing how I truly feel
And never letting the world in
Slicing, hiding, bleeding, crying
People don't understand me
How much pain is behind these eyes, the pain that lies within
I look at you through the eyes of shadow
Friendship, smiles surround me from every angle
I never was a part of your world I guess
Not that I'd want to be like you
This is who I am- alone & depressed
Because being me is what I do best
If ever again I find happiness
Who or what will I owe it to?
A song, a friend, the falling rain?
Twisted and tormented in my own mind
Is this my own fault- the way I feel?
Like there is no end to the pain
They say it's not healthy
But as the blood drips out I know
That sometimes this is all I'll ever be
I lay down and cry as the sting slowly fades
I see all my sadness start to wash away
Now finally I know what it takes to set me free
The built-up hurt, confusion, anger
of being lied to, betrayed and made fun of
Is released in a way known only to me
I have no regret, for now at least
Crawl back into my shell, put on my face
"No I'm not upset... yes I'm happy"
So keep in mind the things you say
Watch who you offend- words can hurt
I'll never forget what I've been through
Everyone who "knows" me would never guess
They all pretend too, I bet
Look into my eyes to see what's true but you see nothing-- I'm empty... like you |
