I know I go through the motions
and act like nothing's wrong
But inside I'm dying
and just want to crawl
away from here
to sit by myself
Be alone, be done
I hate the way I lie
and tell you I'm ok
When in reality Im through
I don't want to play this game
I scream out
Someone please help me
but there will only be silence
and I can no longer breathe
