You'Ll Regret Doubting Me
You think what I do is a joke
Some kind of elaborate hoax
Never understanding what goes on
Barely looking further than skin deep
I bury my feelings
Hidden under the surface, bleeding
While I’m trapped inside my mind
You assume everything is just fine
I keep things private
No worries from everyone else
Secrets never uncovered
Tears never spilled
When things finally explode
You’ll dying be alone
I’ll be rising from the flames
This was never a game
Life isn’t a gamble
I don’t want to waste it
Things you said were bad, I find perfectly good
I never needed to be fixed
I may see dark as light and wrong as right
But I am more than you could ever be
Don’t take me down with you
I’m making more changes as you drag that last ragged breath
Smiling as if I actually feared death
Life is better now that I’m free
People are happy and secure
And too late realize all long that I was never weak
