Nobody Does
People don't see me
They see that quiet girl
They see that weird girl
They see that dumb girl
They don't see me
People can't understand
When I laugh, I want to cry
When I smile, I want to die
When I whisper, I want to scream
They can't understand me
People can't help
I'm drowning in my thoughts
Banging against my prison
Screaming until my voice is gone
They don't help me
People won't care
That I'm drowning
That I'm laughing
That I'm standing in front of them
They don't care
Nobody does
