Am I Who You Think I Am
Am I who you think I am?
Do you really understand?
Am I alone in this dark world?
Or am I with someone I can’t see?
Life is full of questions
That always remain unanswered
If life were not a mystery
If love was not inevitable
If you were not away from me
I wouldn’t have anything to hope for
Nothing to dream about
I’d be nothing more than a shadow
Lurking around in the light
Living a life half-fulfilled
Searching for a second chance
Wanting things to go back to the way they used to be
If life were not a mystery
If I wasn’t even alive
If day was night
And night was day
And pain was never known
If people didn’t hurt each other
If every day passed too slowly
If this was agonizing misery
If things had gone right for once
If nothing was broken
This would be a dream
And life wouldn’t be such a mystery
And you wouldn’t have to feel this pain
And nothing would be so full of hate
And people would understand
That sometimes a broken heart
Has to heal on its own
But this isn’t just a dream
It’s just twisted reality.
Life is but a mystery
A puzzle of broken dreams
A truth among many lies
And there is always somebody
Out to get you
To take what you never had
And they always get away with it
Because this is not a dream
This is life
A life I’m tired of living.
A life I’m to tired to go on in
I wish I could just curl up
And sleep….
So am I who you think I am?
You will never understand
Because I am a mystery
That nobody will take the time
To figure out.
And until the day someone tries,
I will hide behind their lies
Spending nights crying
For the pain is taking over me
And I will never breathe again
Once you forget the life we had
And all the things we shared
Because I am not who you think I am
I’m more
But you will never notice
For you will never care
Because in your eyes I am invisible
You look right through me
Because you do not see me
Would you care if I never saw another day?
For without you, I have no reason to live
I have no reason to stay.
I might as well go on my way
And leave you here to smile
Maybe you will remember me
And shed a tear
For you will realize what you have done
And regret what you never did.
