No One Understands

Let it go
Get over it
Life moves on
The words echo
From all corners of the world
No one ever understands

Just need to open up
To ask for help
But even when they listen 
From behind judgemental eyes
No one ever understands

Every time a door closes
They say another opens
But lately they just slam shut
No one ever understands

I'm dying of thirst 
In an ocean of salt water
No one ever understands

Will this self pity ever end
No one ever understands

No one ever understands
