If You Really Knew Me 2

If you really knew me

you could see past this facade

past this mirage

you could see I constantly cry

like a water fountain

but you will never know

cause my tear clouds never make it over the mountain

I hold them back

cause I am strong (so I think)

but if you look close enough

you can see my flaws

the worn cracks in my face

and how I'm a dark pit

a dark place

you'll see me fall apart bit by bit

you could see how my eyes are closed shut

yet my soul bleeds

it bleeds endlessly onto this worn out paper piece

now you really know me
