So Far Away..

I have perfected the art
Of my fake smile
I can cover anything
Make myself unhostile

For whenever I'm down
My family never see
I cover this frown
I cover the real me

I never tell them
What I think at all
I never tell them my feelings
How everyday I fall

They only know half
Half of my heart
Half of what I am
Half of everything from the start

I sit here next to them
Feeling so far away
They live in a different world
Where every things ok

I've never just talked
Telling them how I feel
There’s always been something
I never revealed

Maybe that’s why
Why my mums never scared
That when I go out
I'll be unprepared

They always just expect me
To be so strong and right
They don't see my weaknesses
They don't see my fright

I thought parents
Were meant to know you the most
Why do mine
Never hold me close?
