Sins From Within

They say follow your heart 
    Yet if I follow it I will sin
     I want him so much
     I would snatch him just like
          I could a gucci bag
          But my conscience goes 
           So I flow and I flow
           All the while wondering 
             If I should abide by these laws
              They say don't drink
               People praise the lord 
                Yet still get tipsy
              It makes no sense to me 
                 He notices everything
                Does he notice 
               That I've been bruised deep inside 
                   Sometimes the cut hurts so badly
                     I cannot hide it
                        They say always be real
                          But if I relinquish my facade
                          I doubt anyone would be there
                              To see the real me 
                                The one who wore her bleeding 
                                    Heart right in the open for everyone to see 
                                       I seal it up nice and neatly
                                        Put a band aid were it's leaking
                                            I'm a good girl at heart
                                          But my gushing heart 
                                            Is depleating 
                                            I don't want to release the sins within me
                                                   It's becoming harder as the years go by
                                                         To sit by and pretend that I am not dark
                                                          It's just no one ever see's that part
                                                              Let's hope the band aid is made of crazy glue
