Behind My Eyes

Why do I bother being truthful When everyone I meet seems so hateful They wonder why I don’t talk about my former life If they want to see the pain i've known Just look into my eyes You will see the millions of tears i’ve cried And you wonder why I hide Behind these dark and lonely eyes. I’m alone because it’s the only time I feel safe I still run and hide in that special place I feel like a child Afraid of the dark I don’t want sympathy And I don’t need any more sorrow When I go out i am tall and proud I stand out in the crowd Then they see these lonely dark eyes And they think to them selves Why a young man cries. At this time, life is good as I crack a smile It’s a cover for this lonely man inside I’ve been that low I often wish I had died When I went away to fight for my pride I’m still fighting A personal fight battling with nightmares every night I want to tell people how I really feel inside But will they break down and cry We all feel sorrow we all know pain But why is mine, here to stay I have fought off illness But still I hurt inside I’ve got my life organised Please what ever you do Don’t ask me what goes on behind these dark and lonely eyes Because I will only smile and tell you lies You wont believe the secrets hidden behind these lonely eyes
