No One Knows

why do you cry
-i dunno

why do you cry
-i said i dont know

why do you cry
-no one knows the pain i feel inside
no one knows the struggles 
the amount of tears ive shead 
in these years
the times i had to put on a brave smile
when im dying to cry
eyes bursting to explode
am i in denial?

im crying inside
im screaming inside
i have to decide
which way i need to ride

my sadness is my weakness
i got to keep my head up

when you kick me down i get straight back up
think your making me weak
but your making me much stronger

you must love your self first 
befour you can love others
