New Found Solitude
I'm a shell of my former self
On the outside I'm fine
But I feel empty within
I'm broken
It's so hard to be the one
Who always cares to much
So I've shut down
Better to not care at all
To keep everyone out
Then to let someone in
To let them see me
And know me
To fill me with hope
Just to break me down
I'd rather be alone and whole
Then wind up alone and broken
