My secret

You ask me why I'm distant
And why I push you away
You won't like my answer
But I'll tell you anyway

Even though you're my friend
I hide some stuff from you
Like how much pain I'm really in
And the painful stuff I do

You wouldn't understand it
That's why I never told
I'm all alone in this world
My heart is growing cold.

I no longer feel happiness
Just suffering and pain.
There's nothing left in my life
And nothing left to gain

So now you know my answer
My secret has been told
Now you know how I feel
As my secret begins to unfold.
