I've been walking on this road called life Gaining things then eventually leaving them behind I've drawn the sweetest smile And felt a stabbing pain after a little while I was once treasured, but now I am not I was once a friend, now I'm just something that they forgot Is this what life really is? Or is there something that I have missed Laughter was once my sign of happiness But now I use it to conceal my deepest sadness Though it's hard, I try to make it sound real Pretending that joy is what I feel I long for someone who could understand Who could wipe all these by just holding my hand But along these years, it seems hard to find Thus, helping myself is the only thing I have in mind
