Why can't anybody see
That this girl isn't the real me
That the real me is dying inside waiting to be set free
From all this misery
But I guess it's all right
Because everyone always pretends
Pretends to be something their not
I put a smile on my face day after day
With each and every smile
A part of me just wants to shout out loud
And demand to be noticed
Demand to no longer be ignored
The girl everyone knows and loves
The girl with the "perfect" life
Simply doesn't exist
She's just someone I pretend to be
The real me is a sad emotionally abused girl
Dying for someone to notice
Everything is not ok and I'm not alright
That each and every day a little piece of me dies inside
I'm all alone in the world
No one to confide all of my problems in
I have no time to feel sorry for myself
I'm always solving someone else's dilemma
So I sit here all alone in my room
Without a friend in the world
As the bottle of pills slide out of my hands
I lay motionless on the floor
Thinking to myself now I will finally leave this world
And I'll finally be the happy little girl
Everyone thought I was
And I'll finally be the happy little girl
Everyone expected me to be
