What they don't know is how it feels
To have this hurt that never heals
What they don't know is what I see
And how it feels to see what I have to be
What they don't know is what I hear
And what I know and what I fear
What they don't know is what I taste
And how I retreat every single day in haste
What they don't know is what I haven't done
And how it feels not to have any fun
What they don't know is how trapped it is every time
And what I wouldn't give just to have a dime
What they don't know is how much pain I see and know
And how I have to just go with the flow
What they don't know is how I ache
And what I give and what I take
What they don't know is how I'm seen
And who I am and what I really mean
What they don't know is that this isn't my cup of tea
And to know every day I can't be me
