Only You

When the will of living fades away
and you are broken inside
When you feel like screaming each day
but behind a fake smile, you hide
When you feel the loneliest ever
and you know for a fact
that no one can really get you
or understand where you're at
Inside this chaos of a brain
and this storm of emotions,
you feel like going insane
or just going with the motion
When you lose faith in people
and realize the harsh truth
that only YOU can help yourself
get back up on your feet
Only you can feed your mind
thoughts that are happy and sweet
Only you can raise yourself up
from a desperate situation
and save your soul from drowning
in permanent desperation
People tend to walk away
when they see your true emotions
Once you change your way
and you let go of your precautions
You wash away the fake smile,
the fake dreams and devotion
that you knew never existed,
they just covered you up like lotion
People tend to walk away
from weak and sad souls in need
Because people want to be happy
They want to be forgiven and freed
And you come along feeling crappy
with a heart that knows how to bleed
expecting open arms and warm hugs,
waiting for someone to lead..
