oh hey.

It's easier to say that you don't care Than to admit that you're hurt.

it's funny.


it's funny she thinks
how everyone says forever
but how forever never lasts
it's funny how they’re gone

it's funny how little trust she has
in the world around her
she’s been hurt too much
everything’s gone too far

it's funny how many lies
they said that she believed
it's funny how stupid
she felt after believing

it's funny how many times
she told herself she was fine
it's funny how many people
didn’t even notice she was lying

it's funny how time after time
she gave out second chances
because she dreamed
it would be different next time

it's funny how the people
that said that they’d changed
we’re only two-faced bitches
too self-absorbed to care

it's funny how every single time
it was all blamed on her
it's funny how she carried the pain
how no one saw her struggle

it's funny how she thought
that secrets could be kept
but even at her lowest points
no one could keep their mouth closed

it's funny how time changes
but people remain the same
everything keeps moving
but she’s standing perfectly still

it's funny how she’s alone
how there’s no one left to turn to
it's funny how she smiles through it
and people think she’s fine

it's funny how she says she doesn’t care
and then cries alone in her room
it's funny how she crouches on the floor
holding herself together

it's funny how she’s lost faith
in everything and everyone
it's funny how she’s done
how she doesn’t care anymore

it's funny how she wants to run
to escape what’s in her mind
to get away from this place
and isolate herself

it's funny how she’s leaving
how the last tear has dropped
it's funny because its over
and it's funny because she’s done.

realize.


Just stop the pretend
I want it all to end
stop asking the same
this pain isn’t a game

Keep hiding behind a smile
I've been doing it for awhile
no one knows it’s a lie
its almost time to say goodbye

I cant take it any longer
I’m not getting any stronger
I wish I could let it go
if only feelings I could show

You ask if im okay
and believe whatever I say
please don’t listen to me
this isn’t how I wanna be

Please see through to my tears
notice all my sorrow and fears
finally realize that im not fine
realize that all along I've been lyin’.

in my skin.


I look in the mirror
and I hate what I see
I understand exactly
why no one wants me

You say that I’m pretty
But why do you lie
Say it one more time
I think I might die

I see the attention
you get while we’re out
no one notices me
you’re what it’s all about

Comfortable in my skin
ha it’s just a disguise
There’s nothing to say
that can prove to you guys

You just don’t know
what it’s like to be
the ugliest in the group
I wish you could see

I laugh all the time
just smiling away
But I cry myself to sleep
at the end of the day

I’m falling apart
and nobody knows
But I’ll be okay
it’s the way it always goes.

sorry.

Once again it’s all on me
Not sure how to say sorry
Over and over it happens like this
into the ground I pound my balled fists

Maybe walking alone is best
try not to worry about all the rest
don't ever look behind you
or you know the pain’ll find you

Got me feelin’ so low
but I don’t let it show
just needa get through it
gonna push myself through it

But in case I look behind
in case time can rewind
just please listen to me
and know that I'm sorry

I'm sorry that I messed all this up
and I'm sorry that sorry will never be enough.

fly away.


Sometimes I close my eyes
and fly away to another place
don’t bother saying goodbyes
where im going no one knows my face

I'll start all over, begin anew
clear the tears from my cheek
theres nothing I wouldn’t do
to stay here week after week

But the sharp pain in my heart
brings me back to what is real
I remember how im falling apart
how nothing can help me heal.

you know the feeling you get.

You know the feeling you get when you feel all alone in a room full of people? When you know that you're surrounded by friends who care but none of them can make you feel any better? When all of those friends are willing to talk to you but you just can't find the words to describe how you feel?


Lonely. Depressed. Confused. 


You know the feeling you get when you want to be happy but you just can't? When you can laugh and smile and have fun but it's just not the same anymore? When you feel like you're losing yourself?


Sad. Frustrated. Hopeless. 


You know the feeling you get when a really good friend leaves? When you feel like you're missing something inside? When you know nothing is ever gonna make it right again?


Hurt. Heartbroken. Disappointed.


You know the feeling you get when that person moves on? When that person replaces you with someone else? When that person pretends that you don't exist, that you never meant anything in the first place?


Grief. Resent. Vulnerable.


You know the feeling you get when you know that you messed up? When you know that it's all your fault? When you know that there's nothing you can do to fix it?


Anger. Guilt. Regret.


You know the feeling you get when everything starts falling apart?



F e a r .


You know the feeling you get when you start to get over it?


Hope. Relief. Courage.


You know the feeling you get when you finally start to forgive yourself? When you realize that it's not worth the tears anymore? When you realize that you're better than this?


Secure. Confident. Peace.


You know the feeling you get when you can go a whole day without feeling bad about yourself? When you know that you're loved? When you can go a day without thinking about it?


Optimistic. Tranquil. Happy.


You know the feeling you get when you realize that you don't need them anymore? When their name just doesn't make you smile anymore? When you start to really laugh and really smile?


Calm. Strong. Together.


You know the feeling you get when you're comfortable being alone with your thoughts? When you know that everything's gonna be okay? When you know that you're gonna be okay?

race.

I run into the woods
letting everything go
losing my focus
going out of control

I push on and on
the trees whiz past
the ground is all blurry
im going way too fast

I stop and fall to the ground
as tears streak down my face
my head makes the world spin
there’s no way ill finish this race

Gotta end this right now
it’s a race against time
I gotta make it all stop
under pressure in the mind

But I cant handle the pain
its all become too great
my life was filled with love
but now all that’s left is hate.
