Nobody Knows You
Even though nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you are empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there...
Nobody sees I am crying,
They can't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing
I wish you were here...
Nobody knows it's so painful,
They think that I am strong.
All they say 'it will be fine for me.'
But I wonder if they are right or wrong.
Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I can just be set free,
But I often feel I am bound with chains,
Trapped inside this mystery...
Nobody knows I need you.
They think I can do it on my own,
But they don't know I am crying
When I am all alone.
