You're so bright,
But your eyes look so tired.
Are you okay?
Who are you in there?

When there are people around you,
You're always smiling,
Always;
So you must cry alone.

If I could, I would share your tears,
Take half of your sadness;
We could share the burden
between us.

I see you hugging yourself
and biting your lip,
Like you're afraid that you might
fall to pieces
if you let go.

When you look away
can you see your troubles there in
the distance?
There outside the window?
There in the doorway?

Please stop crying,
And trying to hide.
Please stop hurting.
Please stop hurting.
