You'll never know how much it pains me
To see that smile under your gaze
The sound of your laughter pierces me
Because I know you're not okay
I see it in your eyes
Despite the act you always play
I wish I could capture you
And heal you in my embrace
My chest feels so heavy
My heart begins to sink
Happiness is what I want for you
But it's never within your reach
I give my all to try and help you
Though it will never be enough
You've been consumed by your wounds
They made you who you are
I can not mend your spirit
I can not repair your wings
The amount of tears I've shed for you
Will never set you free
In the silence I wish you strength
In your life I wish you hope
I know how broken you must be
One day, I pray you will be whole
Until then I'll always be here
If it will help ease the pain
I know how much you're hurting
But please, please
Live for another day
