Why do I feel so alone?
I should put up more of a fight
I have a right to a happy life
I wish you could see inside my mind
What a sad sight

Look, there's a little girl
Waiting to be found
Too afraid to cry aloud
even as she's screaming inside
Terrified of the beast
Who considered her innocence his feast

Then there's a young lady 
whose name is "Sadie"
She doesn't want you baby
A declaration of love she can not take
Can't let anyone get too close
You might see the tears she tries so hard to hide
You may realize her toughness is just an act

You will never know me inside 
I prefer to be alone
I don't feel comfortable in my own skin
Will I ever know what happiness is?
