Heal

It seems as I take one step forward,
I fall back down,
With life just watching as it passes me by,
I can't get on track, and 'm losing the race.

I'm thinking to myself,
Is this it?
Is this all I'm living for?
Is this all I've got to get me through?
Why does it have to be so hard?

I get broken down, pushed around,
They tell me who to be,
Is this really my family?
Why would I be put on this Earth for nothing?
It would be so hard for me to die,
But it's getting harder to be alive.

When Brad left home,
It hurt me so bad,
And it's so hard for them to understand,
They walk by with nothing to say,
My broken heart is all that I am.

But you will never see me so weak,
You'll never see it in my eyes,
I'll hide it here so you don't see,
And you won't hear it in my cries.

I really don't know what to do,
When I can't grasp my hope,
Everything I do is wrong,
And I have no way to cope.

When I turn to the mirror,
And I see my reflection,
A girl's whispering back to me,
"You're the perfect imperfection."

When people try to help me,
They think they know how I feel,
But the truth is you can't heal my heart,
And you can't make my scars heal.
