The Real Me

Bottled up and locked away Is where I want my heart to stay Do they know that I've been crying Do they know I'm slowly dying I seek comfort but can't find it I won't give you my injured heart In fear that you will tear it apart Don't tell me that you love me Please don't say you care For I don't have the love to spare Now I must tell you, in a most honest tone I am depressed, suicidal, and alone Will you still love me When you find out what I've done Or when you find that I am gone Will you still love me When you learn that it was me Who took my own life just to be set free Free of all the pain and depression Free of all the emotional suppression Will you still love me When you're crying and alone Or when you think of me And how happy we might be
