life

I try to be perfect Smile really big Help everyone Never think of myself But sometimes It's hard I get hurt All those feelings i hold start to hold me down it's all too heavy and I break I want to be loved too Though I'll never say so I cry when you're not watching Though I want you to hold me I act like I know where Though I'm so lost I keep this little girl locked inside Though she comes out once in a while to cry And I tell her to stop To put on a brave face With people counting on us we can't have an off day And I pick up the pieces Lock all the doors Hopping she won't get out anymore That she'll shrivel up inside While I pretend to be alive Can I really call this life?
