No Control
May 11, 2018
Smile, smile
You are not alone
That's what they all say
But they do not know
How it really feels though
Learn the truth and don't loathe
It's that type of pain
That tricks your poor brain
Into thinking there truly is nothing to gain
Why, why
Does it do this to me
Rid my life of all glee
I'm not fine don't you see
They tell me I'm fine
They don't understand
The choice is not mine
They say I'm no man
Make it stop, make it stop
I'm losing my friends
I'm left all alone
I'm hurting again
