I've been beaten
But the bruises won't show
What you have done
You really don't know
Or do you?
I hurt when you say what you do
I die a little more each day
For being myself, I guess
That is the price that I have to pay
How much more do I owe?
I don't know what you want
I guess I never did
I think that is the reason
Why I hide what I hid
How many secrets do I have to hide to make you happy?
Call it what you will
My life is my life
If you don't like it the way that it is
Please end it with a knife
Is that what you want, for me to disappear?
You call it crap
When I tell you what I see
I only know what I know
I can only be me
Do you want me to pretend that everything is fine?
I don't know what is wrong
If I did, I would tell
It appears, to me
That we don't communicate well
What do you want me to say?
I don't call you names
Even though you through them my way
It's hard enough
To keep my fears at bay
Are you trying to destroy me?
I don't write about you here
I guess that has changed
All I can say is that
It's my life you've rearranged
What more do you want?
Respect is yours to give
And mine to receive
It is not you
That I am trying to deceive
What must I do for you to see the truth?
My world has grown small
For a while you have been all I saw
I guess that you want that to change
Because you're ripping my heart raw
Do I have to cry to get you to understand?
I've said this for the past four years
It is your choice if you want to stay
You say that that is "Bullshit"
To me, that is the only way
Why do you expect me to explain something that I do not understand?
I am who I am
I would like you to accept that
I'm sick of being who others want me to be
I'm sick of being their pet rat
Why do I have to be someone that I am not?
I stopped following my mind
And followed my heart
Maybe that is why
Our ways have yet to part
Do you want me to leave?
There is so much stress
On my heart and mind
I guess that there is something
That I have to find
Will you help me?
I only know what you tell me
You only know what I tell you
I take it that this isn't good enough
And you want to be through
Is that true?
I'm not used to
Giving up my heart
But I thought I would take a chance
I thought that was a start
Is that what you wanted?
Great, now I'm crying
Both inside and out
Is this what that
Was all about?
Would you tell me if it was?
Emotions are a weakness
That's what you said
Does this mean that you think
I'm better off dead?
Would you be honest if this was true?
I care for you
That is all I know
Is that enough
For you, though?
Am I good enough?
You say you won't deal
With 'it' anymore
Is this what I was
Waiting around for?
Is that all that I am, a screw-up?
You've broken it off before
What's stopping you from doing it again?
If I'm so horrible
Stop what is happening, then
Is there something that you aren't telling me?
I know this may sound cheesy
But I would walk through fire
If it would prove to you
That I'm not a liar
Do you think that everything that I say is a lie?
I will talk to you if you want
Though when is there really time?
Is filling my life with stuff
Really a crime?
Is that why you are angry?
I don't know
What I am looking for
But I thought that you would be
As stable as you were before
Will you stay?
I've held you as you've cried
You've done the same for me
Is that what you need?
For the stable one to be me?
Are you looking for stability?
I guess we are both breaking down
We can't take the stress
If breaking up will fix that
Then, in my eyes, it is for the best
Is there too much pressure in the 'secrecy'?
I will live with the stress
If I can be with you
But I don't know
What you want to do
What is in your heart?
I don't know
What else you want me to say
I don't know what this will do
I hope it shows you the way
Do you know the way?
The way... To something that has changed these past four years... To something that I have never given so completely before... The way... The path... To my heart...

I'd smile if I could
I know that I should
I can't right now
I don't know how
I want to cry
I want to die
There's so much pressure upon me
I feel like I'm on my knees
I want to curl up and hide in a hole
I wish I was a little vole
Instead of being something like that
I feel like a walked on mat
I'll sit in my corner
Like little Jack Horner
But I don't have a Christmas pie
I just have the tears I cry
I laugh when you want me to
Everything I do is for you
There's a change in your interest
I think it may be for the best
I believe
You no longer need me
That's why I was here
You needed me near
Now you don't need me
You know where I'll be
I run from my strife
So I can live my life
I'm lost without you
Wish you needed me too
But I know
I must let you go
I'll smile so you won't see
What goes on inside of me
You won't see me drift away
And that's the way it must stay
I need some help
I feel all alone
I’m lost in myself
I can’t find my way home
I wish that I was
Wrapped in your arms
So that I knew
There would be no more harm
On the outside, I’m laughing
On the inside, I’m crying
On the outside, I’m living
On the inside, I’m dying
I want your love
But you’re not really there
I’m lost without you
But I don’t think you care
Once we were one
Now we are two
You can live without me
I can’t live without you
Smiling on the outside
Laughing is what you see
What is on the outside
Isn’t really me
Tears of joy and sadness
Running down my face
This is how I live my life:
Covered up by lace
People see what they want
It isn’t always true
This is how most people are
But what about you?
I used to live my life alone
Until you came to stay
You picked me up and helped me out
And my problems ran away
But now you’re gone, I’m left alone
I have no one to talk to
You left my side because you think
Everything’s about YOU!!
