You tell everyone you’re ok
But you hide in the dark
Buried beneath insecurity and doubt
Fearing the next day’s spark
You have a smile
But its never really real
Because you stopped feeling
And it stopped hurting after a while
You can feel your heart beating
But after so long
It doesn’t seem to be doing its job
After every beat failing and restarting
You can't believe this is living
But this is all it will ever be
Shaking and cracking with every breath
You simply want to stop being

You tell everyone you’re ok
But you hide in the dark
Buried beneath insecurity and doubt
Fearing the next day’s spark
You have a smile
But its never really real
Because you stopped feeling
And it stopped hurting after a while
You can feel your heart beating
But after so long
It doesn’t seem to be doing its job
After every beat failing and restarting
You can't believe this is living
But this is all it will ever be
Shaking and cracking with every breath
You simply want to stop being
