I may smile on the outside But it's all one big lie. I'm dying inside Tearing at my akin Just so I can feel, even for a second. You tell me I look fine But little do you know That I'm one step off the edge... Teetering... Waiting for a reason to stay. You say I look happy But I'm not. I starve to feel worthy, I cut to feel alive. I think of suicide as a way of ending this pain. I don't want to die But I no longer want to hurt. So what's that... I look fine? Little do you know behind my smile Lies a thousand little secrets

A thousand little secrets
I may smile on the outside But it's all one big lie. I'm dying inside Tearing at my akin Just so I can feel, even for a second. You tell me I look fine But little do you know That I'm one step off the edge... Teetering... Waiting for a reason to stay. You say I look happy But I'm not. I starve to feel worthy, I cut to feel alive. I think of suicide as a way of ending this pain. I don't want to die But I no longer want to hurt. So what's that... I look fine? Little do you know behind my smile Lies a thousand little secrets
