You tell me that you love me You swear to me that you do

You promise me you’ll never leave I look away, hiding the doubt in my eyes

You say that you know me Can’t you see you don’t?

Can’t you see I’m hurting? Dying even?

Behind the mirror I cry Screaming to break free

Behind the smiles There are tears

Behind the laughs There are cries

Behind the happiness There is sorrow

Can’t you understand? Can’t you realize I’m in pain?

I’m not screaming for my own pleasure. I’m not screaming for your amusement.

How can you just stand there? How can you ignore what I feel?

Do you simply not see it? Or do you simply not care?
