Crying Inside
All these tears that I'm crying
I'm just so sick of trying
On the outside it looks like I'm smiling
But I'm crying inside my heart's dying
All this shouting and yelling
I'm just so sick of telling
That I cant do this anymore
I am crying inside and my heart's hurting
All this sadness and pain
I'm just so sick of the rain
I just can't hide it anymore
I am crying inside my heart's bleeding again
All this falseness, pretending
I'm just so sick it's never ending
I can't keep lying anymore
I'm crying inside all these lies that I'm sending
All this loneliness I feel
I'm so sick it's so unreal
My false smile might just hide it
I'm crying inside my loneliness is real
All this anger I'm fighting
I'm so sick of it igniting
I breathe deeply to stop it
I'm crying inside my lips I'm biting
All this craziness I'm living
I'm so sick of not forgiving
I fight it but it's futile
I'm crying inside feels like I am for ever giving
All this stalemate I am in
I'm so sick to let you win
Seems no matter what I lose
I'm crying inside this is confusing
All this help I feel I need
I'm so sick I feel it's greed
Want to fight this on my own
I'm crying inside this is difficult indeed
All this remembering
I'm so sick I need forgetting
Want these memories to go
I'm crying inside this is so crippling
All the things I sorely miss
I'm so sick I feel useless
Where's my childhood, where'd it go
I'm crying inside I need a hug and kiss
All this feeling of being odd
I'm so sick to bear this rod
Is it my fault I feel strange
I'm crying inside spend my whole life on my tod
All the people where've they gone
I'm so sick been alone too long
Never wanted to feel lost
I'm crying inside where is everyone
All these values seem amiss
I'm so sick to feel like this
I feel worthless and confused
I'm crying inside there's so much I miss
All this emptiness inside
I'm so sick the chasm's wide
My life is missing parts
I'm crying inside just want to run away and hide
All this fruitless holding on
I'm so sick it should be gone
I just can't let go
I'm crying inside If I let go you have won
All this regret for what is past
I'm so sick my issues are vast
I want to forget and start again
I'm crying inside let me move on at last
All this dreaming of what might
I'm so sick it isn't right
I can't live it over again
I'm crying inside what's gone is yesterdays fight
All this total exhaustion
I'm so sick it isn't fun
I'm real tired of feeling so tired
I'm crying inside my next fight has just begun
