Lost in a lonely world,
With no place left to go.
People always around me,
but its only just a show.

My life is just a perception of what I want them to see.
They don't understand,
They don't know the real me.

They all pretend that they care,
Say the right things when I'm needed.
And when I let my guard down,
I'm left shattered and defeated.

I try to mask the pain I feel,
With a smile on my face.
It doesn't matter where I am,
I still feel out of place.

I am the outsider,
That's always looking in.
Im fighting this constant battle,
I can never seem to win.

As I sit here in silence,
I don't know what to say.
How can I make them understand?
That hearts are not for play.
