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
