The Real Me

Everything's unravelling right before my eyes
People don't see the truth, all they see is lies
They just think what they want to think, 
See what they want to see, 
But none of them know the real me
No one knows how I feel inside
No one knows about the tears I hide
People say what they want to say,
But they don't live my life everyday 
I've never felt so alone
People can be so cold
You can't tell me how my life's going to be,
Because you will never know the real me
