You Don't See


You don't see that your words cut me deep You don't see that I can't stand on my feet I'm on my knees begging you to stop, please Cause inside I'm bleeding You don't see the look behind my eyes You don't see what my smile hides My hearts not beating but I'm still breathing I need these wounds to be healing You see the smile on my face You see me getting my way But you don't see, no you don't see me You see me acting happy You see the person I'd like to be But you don't see, no you don't see me When I'm all alone Tears running like waterfalls Hating home When "friends" don't bother to call How am I feeling? Well, now you'll never know
