It’s getting harder,
Much, much harder,
To have to pretend,
To have to act,
To have to lie.
I can’t take it anymore.
They were my friends,
Now, they’re not.
They don’t get me
And they never will.
My new friends understand.
They listen when I talk,
They see my aggravation,
They know when I’m angry,
They just don’t shrug off my pain.
They want to talk it out,
They want to know what’s wrong,
They want to help as best they can.
But my old friends don’t really care,
All they hope is that it isn’t their fault.
But it is their fault,
They’ll never understand,
But I can’t hurt them
So I won’t tell them
And I’ll just keep it inside. |
