Inside/Outside
Inside
  My heart is broken
 My stomach is dropping
 And tears are starting to form
 
 Outside 
 I wear a smile
 I act as if nothing was wrong
 Just for you
 
 Inside 
 I feel as if the world is ending
 Even though I know it isn’t
 
 Outside
  I say “I’m happy for you”
 Even though I am lying through my teeth
 
 I suppress my feelings
 So we can be friends.
 
 You tell me you love her
 I say “Good for you”
 I really want to say
 “Can’t you see I love you?”
 
 Inside I want to cry
 To scream
 To run away
 Outside I show a smile
 And hope tomorrow 
 I will get over you
 
 Why do you tell me
 That you love her
 When you know 
 I love you
 
 Inside
 I cry a little
 And my heart 
 Forms another scar
 
 Outside
 I act as if nothing is wrong
 Just for you.
