Twisted Love

I keep trying even if I might fail 
Another pull, now let me exhale 

I keep saying I'm fine but I'm lying 
I just dont want you to worry 

I got to take my feelings and hide them
I cant let the whole world know them 

I got the whole world on my shoulders 
It's starting to feel like I carry boulders 

It's no longer a secret that its tearing me to pieces 
She no longer loves me, she stopped sending me kisses 

Addiction keeps calling me to take a drink 
I look him dead in the eye and try not to blink 

I'm in too deep and I can't swim so I'm drowning 
The stress is too much, my face cant stop frowning

I ask for help but they cant hear my voice 
The more I scream it's like there's no noise 

It's a gift and a curse how you still give me butterflies 
My heart beats twice while my body dies
