What can i say to make you understand
that i don't need words, i need a hand
i need someone to hold me and look straight into my eyes
and to tell me "I'm not stupid, i see the pain that cries"
lies after lies, it keeps pilling on
more and more stress, when will this feeling be gone?
"kids are dying in Africa" thats what they say
what am i to u? a word came to play?
i never said i have it worse then others
I'm just saying, the pain i feel is hidden under the covers
where you cant see it, not even if you tried
you wont even be able, to find out i lied
lied that I'm good, that i love to be me
when all i really care about, is what people see
if you want me to smile, thats what you'll get
believe that I'm happy, do u wanna take a bet?
i could name you one by one
endless reasons why i should be done
look at me, stare at me, i know its new
cant blame you, after all the lies, no one had a clue
but i could also honestly tell you word for word
plenty of reasons, why i didn't want to be heard
things would change, nothing the same
people wondering every second "is that smile for the frame?"
so i keep it bottle up inside, where no one can see
look up and smile, pretend that I'm free
laugh out loud, make other people smile
even tough from happiness, i stand by a mile
even with all these reasons why its going wrong
a list full of mistakes, you wonder "how could you make it so long?"
i may have plenty of reasons to end it all
theres only one reason why i choose not to make that call
and thats for all the people who stood by my side
and told me over and over that its OK to hide
