Actor


What happens when all you love is taken away

When all that's left is yesterday

There's no tommorrow

I can't explain the pain I feel

It eats away all that's left of me

Depression I wish was just a bad dream

But it eats me away at the seams

Maybe to you it's all a joke

But to me the hurt can only be felt

Never let go

Never let it be seen

Put that smile on your face

Put the long sleeves on

You must be normal at least to the crowd

Deep down you know you aren't fooling anyone

But you pretend for yourself because to you

You're a great actor
