Up to You


Its amazing what people don't see
The emptiness in someone's eyes
The fake smile they hide behind
I see it all
I've been there too
I see the scars 
I see the pain
I see the hurt inside your eyes
I want to help I really do
But its all up to you
Only you can save yourself
All I can do is listen 
And give you my opinion
But its up to you 
What you do
