The Cliff

It all built up inside me
And I finally had to break
I didn't tell anybody
There was no more I could take

I kept it from you all
So you wouldn't see me cry
And no one ever noticed
All the sadness in my eyes

Hidden in my smiles
And overshadowed by my words
Were the desperate cries of agony
Nobody ever heard

I'm tired of the world
So I'm standing on the ledge
Looking at the bottom
My life-line just a thread

You never really asked
I'm not sure you would have cared
And if you ever noticed
I existed, I was there

My feet are hanging off the cliff
I'm starting to lean forward
Before I can even be afraid
My whole life will be over
