A Sweet Escape

What a shame
It had to end this way
Im saying goodbye to you
Because I cant stand the pain

Struggling beneath an invisible weight
Trying to convince the world
That the smile I hide behind is real
And my make-up never runs

I have everything together
Thats the image I portray
And never do they question
That Im really not okay

Darkness surrounding the corners of my heart
Lacing my life with fear
I tried to run and still was found
I cannot escape myself

An addiction so sweet
It keeps me sane
But still Im falling through the cracks
Im lost in my own life

Ive been treading water
But Im slowing slipping under
Like a drug thats killing me
And I cant stand the pain
