That mysterious force,
Has gripped the insides of my soul again.
The one that so silently creeps up behind you,
Assaults you, leaving no trace.
At first you don't see my scars,
For how are you to see the damage within.
My face shows nothing but a smile,
Leading you on, believing nothing's wrong.
For who I am to wallow,
Feeding on your sympathy like a fool.
I need to show you that I am strong,
Putting up a brave front, hiding my pain.
My hidden tears, they do not fall,
For I do not show my weakness.
The time will come when I bare all,
Confiding in you, letting you in.
You may know that Im wounded,
But will you learn to understand?
You may choose to wait for me,
And I will thank you for that, my friend.
Despair,
That force in which fills life with hurt.
When happiness doesn't work,
Will you be there to take my hand?
Has gripped the insides of my soul again.
The one that so silently creeps up behind you,
Assaults you, leaving no trace.
At first you don't see my scars,
For how are you to see the damage within.
My face shows nothing but a smile,
Leading you on, believing nothing's wrong.
For who I am to wallow,
Feeding on your sympathy like a fool.
I need to show you that I am strong,
Putting up a brave front, hiding my pain.
My hidden tears, they do not fall,
For I do not show my weakness.
The time will come when I bare all,
Confiding in you, letting you in.
You may know that Im wounded,
But will you learn to understand?
You may choose to wait for me,
And I will thank you for that, my friend.
Despair,
That force in which fills life with hurt.
When happiness doesn't work,
Will you be there to take my hand?
