I Wish and I Want

Healing is probably the hardest thing to do
I wish there was more for me to see
I want to feel important
I want to do more in my life

The world spins another year
Yet nothing seems to change
My mind still hates me
I wish you could hear me

Please look at my eyes
Tell me you see my lies
Tell me you see the porcelain mask
Cracking ever so slowly 

I want to be me,
Yet I don't know who 'me' is.
I want to go home 
While I'm lying in my bed

The pills only last for so long
I want people to hear my song
For my heart won't last for too long....
