I'm not gonna lie
At times when I'm alone
I cry
I shed a tear 
Or 2
And I feel like no 1
Understands what I'm going through 
But I have to keep my head up
And when I fall I have to get up
I was once told 
Not everything that shines
Is gold
And just because you have someone
In your life doesn't mean they will
Always be there to hold
And just because I cry 
Doesn't mean I'm weak
And just because im silent
Doesn't mean the world can't 
Hear me speak
And action are louder 
Then words 
But what good are words
If they're never heard 
And how can we prepare for
The future 
Without studying the past
And how can I think about my next step
If I haven't finished my last
And how can someone be so close
But seem so far
Surrounded by people
And still feel alone
And the place where I lay my head 
Not feel like home
And how do they want me to lead 
If I have yet learn to follow
It's hard to swallow 
But maybe I'm doing everything wrong
All along
And they say with each ending
Comes a new beginning 
But it seems like with each beginning
There is always an ending
How could something so dear to me
Frighten me
Maybe the same way 
Dark things
Enlighten me
You know teach me 
All these thoughts go bye
In a blink of an eye
So yeah I'm not gonna lie 
I cry 
From time to time
