I live a lie
Just one big facade
And they all buy it
No questions asked
I've tried to tell them
Time and time before
There's been so many chances
For me to shout out
That I need somebody
Somebody to care for me
To tell me everything will be okay
Why can't they hear the plea of this girl
Of this broken girl
Emily Alyssa Mar 2013
Sometimes I look in the mirror
  And I can't recognize the girl in it
  The smile on her face is huge
  Like everything in life is so amazing
And I think to myself
Maybe if I were to be more like her
  More like the girl in my mirror
And be oblivious
To the pain the outside world causes
I could be as happy as the girl in my mirror
But then I remember
That the girl in my mirror is me
And I'm not as happy as I appear

You promised me
   If I felt like crying
        You'd make me laugh
        You'd cry with me
   If I wanted to run away
        You wouldn't ask me to stay
        You'd run with me
   If I didn't want to listen
        You wouldn't say a word
        You'd listen while I talked
And I was so stupid to believe you would
