Hold your head high,
strigthen up
and fake a smile
Don’t let them see how miserable you are
Cover your red eyes behind your fringe
and hide your scars from the outside world
Lock up your emotions behind a barred iron door
and throw away the key into a bottomless hole
Never let them see you vulnerable,
don’t let them taste your blood

Turn the other cheek and smile and say
- I’m happy can’t you see?
(Can’t you see I’m bleeding to death?
Can’t you see all I’m longing for
is a shoulder to cry against,
someone to confied my darkest secrets to,
a single soul who won’t push me away
but will accept me for who I am?)
- So leave me alone!
(Won’t you just understand that all I need
is you to hold me tight and never let go of me?)
