They Say
They say they’re there for you
But where are they when it’s 3a.m
And you’re falling apart
When you should be falling asleep
They say they care for you
That they’re there for you
But their mouths just move
Where’s the actions behind their words
Do they really see me
Do they really hear me
I’m drifting off to sea
Rowing, rowing, rowing
But not going anywhere
The sun comes out
Like the calm before the storm
Now I’m drowning
Sinking further than before
I fight to get to the surface
And gasp for air
As I’m pulled back under
Further and further I go
To depths unknown
Screaming, begging, crying
I yell “no more”
But silence is all that meets me
Fake a smile
Fake a laugh
No one seems to care
Or ask
Who’s this girl become
So silent
So tired
So young
As long as you smile
And seem ok
No one will notice
As you fade from light
They say they’re there for you
That they care for you
But they are merely just saying words
