On The Inside
I have secrets
I tell lies
Just to keep everyone around me smiling
while I'm dying on the inside
Nobody knows my suffering the way I do
I will never be the same
Knowing I've been so hurt so bad
Crying on the inside
Smiling on the outside
Each day that goes by
Seems like it's on replay
Same pain
Same suffering
Everyday that passes me by
Never knowing when
I'll be smiling again
Forcing fake smiles
and 'I'm Okays'
Gets old quick
Listening to everyone around me
Laughing and smiling
Telling jokes
Makes me wonder if they know
What I'm really feeling
Or if they even care
Just knowing
That someone out there
Cares about me and what I feel
What I love
Who I love
How I love
What I dream
What I believe
What I hope can make this pain go away faster
