There’s a thorn in my side,
A part of me I can’t hide
Try to understand that, please

You’re a person that is good,
This I understood,
But the pain just won’t cease

Maybe time will heal
The broken deal
That someone else has given me

But as of right now,
I just don’t see how,
Only time will tell, and we’ll see

Please make me smile,
Just once in a while,
Then maybe I can be happy once more

And the me that you see
Is nothing, really
But everyone’s closing door

On the outside you sneer,
In the inside you cheer,
At my misery

I guess you don’t care,
But don’t you dare,
Say I care of only me
