SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN

SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN.

you got this.

SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN.

you're losing yourself.

SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN.

you're dead.

 

How can I smile when there's no happiness inside?

How do I defend myself when I have no strength to fight?

Why reveal the real me when there are so many reasons to hide?

Why not numb this pain with drugs that get me high?

 

I try and I try, but nothing seems to numb my pain.

Thoughts of us run through my brain.

24/7, it's like an endless train.

I really wish they'd just go away.

 

Cause you didn't want me for me,

You wanted me for my body.

The thoughts of us are taunting.

I'm losing myself, I'm losing myself, I'm slowly dying.

More and more I slip away, I'm used to crying.
