The Other Line

I hear your cries,
your tears fall like rain.
your thinking i dont care,
and that i dont feel a thing.

but on the other line im dying,
the pain i try to hide.
im trying to be strong for you,
but im falling apart inside.

your breaking apart too,
couldnt hide it if you tried.
but on the other end of the phone,
you didnt know i silently cried.

i wanna give my heart to you,
give you everything i have.
but i dont think thats good enough for you,
you deserve so much better than that.

so ill just sit back and support you,
in whatever you choose to do.
when deep down im crying,
and my heart is secretly longing for you.

on the other line is my heart,
begging you not to break it.
but i dont want it anymore,
so here-its yours-just take it.

because im done trying,
to pretend that i am fine.
because you have NO idea,
whats really on the other line.
