Outside You See Me Smiling
And Floating Through Each Day,
A Little Tired, A Little Thin,
But Overall Okay.
But You Didn-‘t Hear My Anguished Thoughts
Which Surface Every Night
They Plague Me, Haunt Me, Torment Me
-Ë—til I-‘m Too Weak To Fight.
And So, Next Day, I Came To School
With Deeply Shadowed Eyes
I Smile, Laugh, And Speak On Cue,
Living A Pack Of Lies.
A Silent Scream Echos Inside,
Reaction To My Lie-
-Ë—til With No Warning It Erupts
And I Crumble Down And Cry
Come Find Me, Help Me Make It Stop-
No! Keep Out, Go Away!
For Is You Come, I-‘ve No Control
Over The Words I Say
Can-‘t You Hear My Silent Scream,
Decipher What I Hide?
So Come And Ask Me What Is Wrong,
Come Sit Down By My Side
If Nothing Else, Then Please Read Through
This Tangled Web I Weave
For Your Really Not The One
I-‘m Trying To Deceive
Help Me-I Don-‘t Know What I Want
I-‘ve Lost My Guiding Light
Please Hold Me, Let Me Cry And Say
Somehow, You-‘ll Make It Right
Perhaps Deep Down, I Know What Is Wrong,
What Keeps Me Up Awake
What Is The Source Of All My Tears
And Ever There Heartache
But Not Yet Can I Face It,
Or Maybe I Just Won-‘t
Please Someone Help Me Understand-
God Only Knows I Don-‘t
