Crying, I’m dying, but still I’m lying
I try to stop the pain, in vain, I wait to grow insane
Soaking, I’m choking, back the tears I’m revoking
But the sadness comes calling, they’re falling, and I find it appalling

Unwilling, it’s killing, me as my eyes keep spilling
A smile I will make, it’s fake, but my feelings are opaque
Biding, I’m hiding, hoping I can just keep misguiding
I don’t want them to see, me, everything I couldn’t be

Waiting, I’m fading, it's all just so degrading
To be the only one, I'm done, my mind’s become overrun
Turning, I’m learning, meanwhile my heart’s still burning
Left alone with my thoughts, I’m lost, and now I’m paying the cost
