A Piece of Me

Everyday people ask how I'm feeling
Simply said I'm doing fine
It's the answer you'd hear most often
But it is not truly mine

When a problem arises I try to run
But it seems I don't get very far
Because standing in front of me
Is a new one filling an old scar

So just take a piece of me
You know it must be easy
Because it happens everyday
In the exact same way

When I cry people stare and laugh
They don't care that they cause it
It's just a joke and high inside
But they wouldn't ever admit

So just take a piece of me
You know it must be easy
Because it happens everyday
In the exact same way
