I smile at mirrors that don"t smile back,
Carrying my heart like its starting to crack
I laugh real loud so no one can hear the sound of my thoughts when I'm all alone with my fear
I say "Im fine" like its easy to say,
But the truth feels heavier everyday
My tears know my name, they fall on repeat,
Like rain that remembers the cracks in the street
I gave so much love, I forgot what I needed,
Planted my soul just to watch others feed
I stayed to long, I hoped to hard, played every hand and still lost every card
the nights get louder, the days feel fake,
I hold myself together, just so I don"t break
I scream in silence, I ache in rhyme,
Im tired of healing the same old time
But if I cry, let it mean I cared,
That I felt deeply, that I dared,
These tears aren't weakness, they're
Proof I tried,
Proof I was real even when I cried
But that's proof I can never show the proof is all dried up,
My tears ran out,
Now I smile through silence, through fear, thought doubt
What hurt me most, no one will see,
Cause the pain looks quiet,
when it lives inside
