Alone, I Cry

I put up fronts for the people around me Like different masks I can change for a given situation Honestly, no one knows the real me And honestly, I don't know if there is one So at night Alone, I cry In the morning when the light shines through trying to make everything clean and pure I reflect wondering "What's wrong with me?" "Why can't I be happy?" I smoke my cigarette and try to collect myself for the day to come But every day seems to be blending into another I can no longer tell them apart But every night Alone, I cry It seems to be all that I have left But even that is something to hold onto So I smile as the tears fall down into oblivion I embrace the darkness Alone, I cry.
