Broken Eyes

I take it so you don't have to
I cry so you can smile
I wear a mask that you can't see through
To take the tears from my eyes

You don't need to see my breaking
And falling is all a lie
You don't know that I'm aching
And you don't need to see my cry

My love, my love, my love
Masking my face just like a glove
For you to glance my way
Strikes electricity to my veins
You don't watch me cry
But I die, I die, I die

They can't see through my broken eyes
They can't see through to my soul
They give me hugs so I don't cry
When I rarely break from the role

I act out my so-called happiness
I feign a perfect smile
You think it doesn't hurt to death
But you've never walked my mile

My love, my love, my love
Masking my face just like a glove
For you to glance my way
Strikes electricity to my veins
You don't watch me cry
But I die, I die, I die.

I hear you screaming at me
I hear you say "Be happy!"
You don't know how hard it is to try
To fix my broken eyes
I hear you calling my name
Your embrace, a sickly claim
You broke me into bits and I, I....

My love, my love, my love
Masking my face just like a glove
For you to glance my way
Strikes electricity to my veins
You don't watch me cry
But I die, I die, I die

I die, I die, I die.
I die, I die, I die.
Please try
To fix me
And my
My broken
Eyes
