They don’t see How hard I try They just think I don’t work Because they don’t see me cry They don’t see All the late nights I would stay up and wonder If I would ever be alright They don’t see Everything I give So they beat me down And make me not want to live They don’t see All the feelings inside All the good and the bad That I try to hide They don’t see The monsters in my head The ones that will hurt me And fill me with dread They don’t see That all that I want Is to be accepted But they stand there and taunt They don’t see That this is all fake I’m not really ok I just push myself until I break So that I can prove To all that don’t see That I really am enough But even I no longer believe

They Don't See
They don’t see How hard I try They just think I don’t work Because they don’t see me cry They don’t see All the late nights I would stay up and wonder If I would ever be alright They don’t see Everything I give So they beat me down And make me not want to live They don’t see All the feelings inside All the good and the bad That I try to hide They don’t see The monsters in my head The ones that will hurt me And fill me with dread They don’t see That all that I want Is to be accepted But they stand there and taunt They don’t see That this is all fake I’m not really ok I just push myself until I break So that I can prove To all that don’t see That I really am enough But even I no longer believe
