A persons troubles, can cause a lot of hurt.
Beating you down, until you feel like dirt.
The pain can be hidden, it may never show.
It lives inside you, and it will never go.

You don't have to ask, it will not stop.
It will continuously push you, until it's on top.
Manipulation and guilt trips, are what it does best.
Your being controlled, just like all the rest.

A cage is what your life becomes, you need to break free.
You only wanted happiness, but there is no way to flee.
Escaping to a better world, a better life you know.
Is something you just cannot do, it will never let you go.

You try to tell, you try to hide, but there's nothing you can do.
Live with what is deep inside, live with what is true.
There is no answer I can give, to help you find your way.
Except find peace within your heart, to get you through the day.
