The lie you live

Take in the breath
That will get you through the day
Count up to 10
And then let it slip away

Try to walk around
With your head held high
What would they say
If they knew you cry

Always say your fine
When you smile to your friends
Because you've got the problems
None of them can mend

Wait till late at night
To watch the mascara follow the tears
Close your eyes tight to make it stop
Say a prayer and hope someone hears

Stare out the window
Find peace in the sky
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Where there safe inside

Look at the normal people
Who pass you by
There so happy and content
And you want to know why

Go back to your room
Where your always alone
Watch the lights go down
Because no ones home

Pull up your knees
Tight into your chest
Close your eyes gently
And try to rest

Wish for something better
Or for someone to see
The tears down your face
The marks that bleed

Open your eyes
Stand up and be strong
Because what would people say
If they knew something was wrong

Take in all those breaths
That seem to get you through the day
Lie to all the people you meet
And tell them you're okay...
