Things Aren'T Always What They Seem

I’m so pissed 
I’m so sad
Holding all this back 
It’ll make me mad

This piece of paper
Is all I have to confide in
To get this life
I don’t know what I did

The pain hurts 
And so I bleed 
There’s no hope 
And nothing to believe 

I’m all alone 
In this dark world
This sad cold
Depressed little girl

And who’d have guessed 
That girl was me
Starting inside 
I’m letting go of my dreams

How did life get this bad 
With nothing but hurt and pain
Has it only started
Or has it always been this way

It’s hard to believe 
It was all a lie 
Just cheating and deceiving
Time after time 

I’m dying on the inside 
And bleeding on the out
You judge me
Though you don’t know what I’m about

The sorrow never stops
And tears never end
Pain is always there
I can’t look ahead

I hide the hurt 
And painful secrets so well
Look me in the eyes 
Can you honestly tell

I’m the girl you may want to be 
But look a little closer
And then maybe you’ll see, it’s the truth
Things aren’t always what they seem
