Can you tell me
Why life needs to be this hard
Why thoughts have to cut this deep
And why the hell I've gotta
Go through this shit
Every day
Another tear falls
For no perticular reason at all
All I want is for it to
Go away
Why can't I
Look into the mirror and see a happy me
Why can't the tears go away
Why can't the mirror show
My fantasy
Life hurts too much
Too much pain, too little trust
Why must it be this way
Why can't it all
Just...fade...AWAY!!
Why can't
The face show joy
Not the pain brought from others
No one can hold this in
Why am I expected
To?
From this day on
I just want to be loved
To have nothing need to go wrong
To have freedom once again
For the cage
To open
Let...it...go...away
