let you know


they say what doesn't kill you 

makes you stronger

well I guess I'm living in immortality 

they say never chase down love 

because love isn't free

all theses things they say to me 

can only be what they expect of 

but what do they expect of me... 

they belittle me and it hurts in every type of way 

I guess you can say they have me

"feeling some type of way"

it's hurting me

I guess thats why I run away 

from the pain inside 

from the hurt and guilt I try to throw away 

day by day 

I'm living in that feeling that needs to be cast away

cast away from here 

from you 

from me 

from everybody

they think they know me 

and they think they know my story

no matter what I do 

they always try to pull my glory 

but the book of my life shal be read

you will never understand the thoughts that go on in my head

it''s funny because every night I lay in my bed

I cry myself to sleep 

no bedtime story 

no counting sheep 

you would even know half of my story 

my journey 

my life 

my struggle 

this is only the beginning to my story 

so just stick around

for a little while 

and I'll be sure to make it wrth your while...
