when people look at my life
pain they never see
memories remind those
of who i'll never be
no one understands
the fear behind these eyes
giving me fake sympathy
it's sorrow that feeds your lies
you say you're always here
but truth no one knows
push emotions deeper
the doors begin to close
i want to let you in
show you what's inside
you reach for my hand
in you i can confide
i built these walls around me
i just can't let you in
confusion, deperation
i hide the thoughts within
please, don't give up
that's my final plea
give me time, be patient
and i'll show you the real me
