Look closer

You just can't understand
The way I feel for you
Everything I've held inside
All that I've put myself through

Some nights I'll get so lonely
That I wish that I was dead
Because all of these thoughts of you
Are running through my head

It really makes me sad
Remembering things you used to say
Then I somehow end up feeling worse
Knowing that words just fade away

I miss you all the time
When I know you're not here
Then I miss you even more
When you really are right there

The loneliness I hold inside
Is slowly filling up the space
It fills up a little faster
Every time I see your face

Sometimes it gets so bad
I'll stay up all night in tears
From the things you won't say
That confirms all of my fears

How long will this continue
Is a question you may ask?
It will continue on forever
Until you see through my mask
