Scared to Tell

I'm scared to tell the truth
In case you leave again
You promise that you won't
But you've said that before

I've been wandering in dark
For far too long
I've gotten myself lost
Looking for a way home

There are times when
It can be so easy
To put on a smile
And be that happy girl

But other times I can't escape
The hollowness in my chest
The tears brimming to my eyes
The loneliness of the years

I don't want you to know
Because then you'll leave again
Just like you left before
When I was openly sad and broken
