Read Between The Lines

I'm Not Saying I Have No Friends,
I Just Tend To Feel Alone.

I'm Not Saying No One Cares,
I Just Forget They Do Sometimes.

I'm Not Saying I Want To Die,
It Just Hurts To Be So Alive.

I'm Not Saying I'm Depressed
Because I'm Not,
I Just Feel Like Such A Mess.

I'm Not Saying I'm Broken Inside
Because That's Too Cliche,
I Just Don't Know Where I Stand With Myself.

I'm Not Saying Everything's Wrong
Because It's Not True,
I Just Don't Know Why I Cry So Much.

I'm Not Saying I'm Giving Up,
I Just Can't Fight Right Now.

I'm Not Saying My Heart's Broken,
I Just Can't Understand What Its Saying.

I'm Not Saying I Need To Be Saved,
I Just Think Someone Should Try.

I Can't Begin To Explain
Where My Emotions End And Begin.
Every Thought Picks A Battle
With My Heart,
And Each Day, Neither Wins.
