Only You Know How

Only You Know How

They say I’m getting better
When in fact I’m falling down
All they see is a forced smile
When I actually wear a frown

They never see me crying
In the middle of the night
I feel like I am dying and
That nothing can make it right

They never see me when I’m alone
Shaking under my bed
It’s the only place that I feel safe
But voices still haunt my head

Nothing seems to make them see
How much pain I’m really in
How every day is living hell
And the pain grows more within

Screaming silently to make them hear
These voices that I’ve heard
But nobody seems to hear my calls
Not even a single word

Is my pain so very hard to see?
Are these tears not really there?
I’m losing all reality
Soaked in crimson despair

Swept away by the sound of my screams
A voice so lost and alone
They think that I am coping better
In fact I’m as numb as stone

Nothing anyone could do or say
Could bring me any lower
Minutes pass me by so fast
As days pass ever slower

Everyone that comes close to me
Becomes corroded by my tears
And everyone that tries to comfort me
Is scared by my own fears

Everyone, that is, except for you
You've been the only one
You had the strength to stay with me
And you helped me to be strong

I’m so tired of fighting this endless pain
I wish it would end now
Please will you save me before its too late?
Only you know how
