Im not alright

by Ash   Aug 2, 2006


I say its all ok
and everything is fine
but i hold a secret
behind this crooked smile

I'm not alright
I'm hurting too badly to understand
acting like I'm happy
and putting on an act

Being watched day by day
knowing the pressure is worse
i feel like i have to mess up
just to feel normal

sometimes i just don't want to be here
i sometimes wish i could close my eyes
and everything would be better
and there would be no more reasons to cry

i know if i run
my heart will break more
no matter how much i try to cover it up
it will hurt worse than it did before

how can i trust that if i turn to you
my pain will be healed
can i know i will be alright
and can i know that you will be my shield

I'm not alright
and i don't want to live my life
hiding and pretending I'm just fine
when the Truth is I'm dying inside
