When you try to hold it in
And you can't
Trying to understand why
But you can't
Wanting answers that will never be spoken
But why

Trying to get past the grief
The heavy pain in your chest
The emptiness in your heart

Putting on a mask for the world to see
Putting your fingers in your mouth
A subtle hint that you're lying
Deceiving
Holding something back
Something painful

But you can still see the light at the end of the tunnel
*You just can't reach it
