Listen

You don't love me, I can't take this, shoot me down
I wish you'd listen to the words I say
Because no one noticed me either, never
As I slashed and cut my life away

Heart so broken and so blackened as I gash myself in glory
Raise myself from this slumber, still so hurt and sad
Yet I have to keep on smiling for the world likes to see me
I have to pretend that it is not driving me mad

Quietly, rocking back and forth, so hurt and alone
Hidden away beside my bed, lies my only true friend
The one who took all my pain away, by causing more
The one who stays with me until the very end

Listen to me, But I know that you won't
I wish you would understand the way i feel
Though I don't suppose you want the same thing
I'll be happy and quiet if the smile I see is real
