I'm trying to get by
but the pain is just too strong
I act like i am okay
When I can barley get along
and I know that I should tell someone
about the pain that I feel
But if I say it out loud
Then I make it real

All these thoughts inside my head
there are so many things
that are keeping me awake in bed
I'm trying to go numb
But it is too hard not to care
There's so much pain inside my head
and I'm ripping our my hair
And I don't think I can do it
Can somebody just tell me how to do it?

I just need someone to know
All the pain that I hold
But maybe I am just too slow
Of all the things I wanted
these troubles were never one
But I just can't stop living
because there are things to get done
And I just want to find out how
all these things get to me
Because when I think of it all
I just can't let it be
I thought that I was stronger
and it would take more to burn me
but now I see I couldn't have been wronger
and that is clarity I needed to see

And I may laugh and crack a smile
because things still make me happy
But when I am alone and have no more laughs
my whole life seems to shake me

Yet I will get up out of bed
and look for a hand to help me
I need to smile and raise my head
because there is a way to be happy
And I don't know if I can do it
But someone will help me do it
