Well my friends they think they know me

But they don’t look hard enough to see

How much my heart has bled

How many tears I’ve shed

.

After everything I’ve been through in the past

I can’t help but doubt if these friendships will last

When they laugh I just laugh along

They never seem to notice something’s wrong

.

I wonder why they can’t see it in my eyes

I wonder why they can’t see through my lies

If they can, they don’t let it show

So I don’t think they know

.

They say they haven’t seen me in a while

I look at them and fake another smile

I try my best not to let them see

The sorrow deep inside of me

.

Cause it doesn’t matter what they say

Everybody leaves one day

And though I’m crying out inside

I tell them that I am alright

.

They don’t seem to notice that I lie

They don’t seem to notice that I cry

One day I won’t be there

I wonder if they’d even care

.

I lock the pain behind my eyes

And wait for them to realize

I’m not sure that they will understand

That’s why I have to pretend

.

Oh no one knows how I feel inside

No one knows that I cry at night

I truly hope this is not the end

But I think they deserve a better friend

.

So if you’re listening now, hear me out

I’m scared and I am filled with doubt

And I admit that I’ve been waiting for the day

When you all tell me you have to go away
