Fly Away

I sit in my bed I cry out in my head I'm not perfect! Never was and never will be When will you ever see the real me? I've tried my whole life to be something I'm not But then the pressure built too hot I snap I yell I scream And cry Every night I cry Wondering if I'll ever get by With this life labeled a lie A tear escapes from my eye And all I can do is wonder why Why can't I let it go? To move on and run the show? But I can't. I'm sorry but I can't be... I can't be that person you want to see For anymore I can't even be me. I sit in my bed and just cry Wishing I could escape and fly away
