Smiling away
Despite the pain aching in my chest
Waiting to explode from within
I look away and close my eyes
With both hands covering my ears
To block out the other emotions screaming to be let out
I don't know how long I can hold them back
They're about to slip from my grip.
It's alright, I'm okay
Don't worry about me
This is a normal thing for me
Just go on about in your merry way
I can't let you know what's going on
I don't want it be a burden
So I'll just lock it up
And keep it hidden in plain sight
What's happening to me?
Why won't the tears stop falling from my eyes?
Am I breaking?
Am I loosing control?
Why can't I make it stop?
I shouldn't even feel this way
I'm supposed to be the strong one
So why am I feeling all of this pain
Someone help me
It hurts, it hurts
Why don't you understand?
Why can't you see through the mask I hide behind?
The pain that I feel is slipping from my grip
I'm sorry that I'm not as strong as you hoped I would be
You raised me to be this way
There's no going back now
It's slipping away...
It's slipping away...
From my grip.
It's slipping away...
It's slipping away...
From my grip.
I can't stop it anymore
I'm breaking down inside
I need someone to help me
But I'm alone again
These unfamiliar tears are flowing from my eyes
I'll just let them be
Since no one will come for me.
Author's Note: I revised the lyrics as they were too out of place and they didn't execute the theme as well as I thought they would be. And I realized that two of the lines seem very similar to ECHO by Crusher-P; a song that I just recently discovered (which is really good *o*). So that's a definite mistake on my part.
