Ordinary Guy

I see you in the hall And the tears threaten to fall I fight to keep them back Throughout the day How did things get this way? Everyone thinks they know how I feel, But none of it is real. I fake a smile And try to keep my feelings in file All the while Pieces of my heart break away I take off this mask I’ve worn so long The questions are asked As days wear on The rage quivers and falls aside I look at you and all I see Is an ordinary guy.
