The only thing worse
Than the broken feeling
That you will never be able to stop crying

Is the undeniable pain
Trapped inside you
When you can't even seem to start

Could you let me sleep in peace
Get out of my head
Get out of my dreams

What does it mean to cry
When feelings stay locked from the
Surface
Emotions I fear
Crammed into small tears
The tears that I make myself
Forfeit

What does it mean to hurt
When the scars are from those
Who don’t know you
They’ve watched you grow up
And you feel their love
But they don’t know the real you

When I’m asleep I run
Down a path in a gold
And green
Meadow
And someone’s out there
With true love to share
Then I wake in the real world
Feeling alone

Alone
I’m home
That shouldn’t be so
Where’s the log to my fire?
Because I’m working for me
And I’ll never retire

Bring on the thunder!
Bring on the rain!!
There’s no true life
Without some small pain
So I’ll be the thunder!
And I’ll be the rain!!
I know how to cry now
So I’ll work through the pain

If I’m coming alive
I acknowledge I hurt inside
My tribulation brought me to salvation
I had to suffer to write
I don’t need you to understand my plight
Just know that I’m coming alive

joy all around but none in my heart
laying my back against the wall as tears fall like stars
its hard to feel joy when there's sadness in your heart
i miss my love, its like we're miles away
its hard to enjoy Christmas when you can't celebrate it with your true love

there’s million broken thoughts
behind that forced smile
there’s a million broken silent screams
behind that forced laugh

tell me why everyone has to hide it
when we’re all feeling the same thing
i promise i understand what you’re going through
we’re all feeling the same thing

Friendly smiles
Doors closed
Plenty shadows
In isles

Pride in selfies captured
In fraud moment
Once rendered out of order

In a snap of crushing sound
Living life & we drown

Inside eyes of audience
Supple lips repeat
The memories & time lines
The bullet points of life
