I help everyone,
I'm always there when they need a friend,
When they need to talk to me,
Just me
Because I'm the one who listens.
I know all of their stories,
I know what everyone's going through,
I know what makes them sad,
And I know what makes them...
Smile.
I'm there when they're crying,
I'm there when they're happy,
I'm there when they don't even need me,
And I'm still there
Even when they're gone.
I know my friends
Better than I know myself,
And I can read their thoughts,
Their emotions,
I know exactly what they need.
But, ah, alas,
Nobody knows a thing about me.
They say they do,
But
Do they?
They only know what I've told them,
They only know what I pretend,
They've only met
The happy side
Of me.
When I'm crying
I run to nobody.
I stay and deal with it myself
They don't need to know
That their protector is breaking.
They don't know that I have heaps
And weights pushing down,
Things that are threatening to kill me,
To drain every ounce
Of my happiness.
I fight on for them,
I smile so they don't have to know
What I go through.
I smile so that way
They do too.
When I'm crying, yes,
I type happy thoughts.
Behind an Internet screen,
Nobody knows,
Yes... nobody knows.
