Truth Is

Truth is she's scared to death, Truth, is she doesn't know how to rest Each day a struggle, The more she tries, The more she loses a part of herself The truth is she cries herself to sleep, Though you'd never know this Truth, is she puts on a brave face, Even though it feels like a never-ending race Folding the laundry, While silently cursing in her mind Truth is you only see what she shows you, You know nothing else Truth, is you judge by what you see, But you never hear her pleas When things go wrong, Nothing you say or do Will ever make them right She struggles with the voices in her head Every single day and night Telling her she's not good enough, Telling her that no matter what she does, It will never really matter She picks herself up from the floor again, Putting on the brave face, That is getting all too easy She used to wear her heart on her sleeve, Now she's scared to let it go Scared that the person she gives her heart to next, Will rip her in two How do you trust when the one that you love, Destroyed all the hope you ever had How do you love again, When every person you loved, Doesn't end up loving you back They say in time it gets easy Just learn to breathe, That love is worth the wait Though if you're constantly waiting Only to leave breaking, Is it worth it at all? The truth is she wants to believe, The truth is she's struggling, Slowly losing hope, Slowly losing herself, She will spread her wings, One of these days she will find what she lost behind The truth is she's happier than she ever been, Though it just feels like sometimes she can never win Truth is she's thankful for everything she has, You will never hear her admit defeat Truth is she is realizing how strong she really is, Truth is she will never let anyone else ever win Truth is...
