My heart was bleeding out on the floor
A comment cut through to the core
My tears fell fresh with guilt and pain
I felt as if I'd been slain
My head hung low I burst inside
I wish that I could run an hide
Nobody ever said its easy to face your fears
Could leave the toughest man following a path of his tears
A bulletproof vest to protect my skin
Should've thought more about how my conscious ran thin
Slices right through me left me in the dust
I was looking around but there's no one to trust
I was living on the dark side all alone theses days
Could've gone home but I was determined to stay
Away from the light where I might see my shadow
Just to remind me of the person everybody knows
Confused and scared I lost my way
I was living in the dark determined to stay
Giving up a life full of richness
Because I could live knowing that I was different
