Inside

I can't make you stay,
but I won't let you leave,
It was me you hurt,
I was deceived.

I'm afraid of getting hurt,
but more afraid of being loved,
I was drowned with hurt,
when a push turned into a shove.

Things got good,
and then turned to bad,
I was so happy,
but no I'm just sad.

I'll keep it to myself,
I'll keep it inside,
I'll pretend to smile,
even though I'm dying inside.
