Understand

You claim you understand

how I feel when I'm in pain

But you don't understand

one single thing

You don't see me cry at night

And you don't see the pain

That is slowly driving me insane

You don't see how I hate myself

And how it tears me down

How I fall and always hit the ground

All you see is fake

the smiles and laughs and "I'm okays"

Because I know no one is here to stay

You don't understand me

because all you see

Is the me I try to sell

I'm alone and you don't care

How can you ever understand

When you're the one who tears me down
