Sugar Coated

A lot of people are still
Sugar coated on the outside
People think they are so sweet
They hardly ever seen 'em cry

They hide their emotions inside
Broken hearted, lonely and hurt
Feel inside they have died
Nobody knows how they truly feel

They wander aimlessly through life
Giving up all hope for themselves
Never able to see the light ahead
At the very end of the tunnel

They cry out many times for help
Yet people never had seen the signs
Depression is a terrible illness
So many people in the world have

They feel ashamed because of it
Become loners, hide from the world
Feel abandoned at times
If only people knew how depression kills
