They don't know me... They just think they do.
Yeah, I'm a lil' rough around the edges, but everyone knows that.
But they don't know ME!
They don't know my joys, my pains, my sufferings.
They just think they do.

I wanna SCREAM!!! I wanna CRY!!!
But I never will. I am better than that.
I don't know which hurts more: They who think I am numb,
Or my own sick pride.
Damn them both.

Is there a refuge for those like me, or are there others?
The world's so fake, so full of posers.
There's no one out there who's real.
They hide their pain, too, and pretend all is right.
Am I a poser, too? Am I no better than them?

No one understands! No one CARES!!!
"Oh, I'm so sorry," they say and begin discussing the weather.
They don't care about me... or my pain.
No one will share the burden with me.
But I willingly share theirs.

I sit and listen for countless hours.
It is I who share their burden with them.
But no one wants mine. No one will help me.
I am on my own with no one to trust.
I am on my own for always.

So God help me.
I'll never make it alive.
