Can't Be You

by Staci   Aug 3, 2006


You wanna make me who i\'m not
it makes me wanna end it with a shot
everything inside i keep hidden
being me is strictly forbidden
be the person you want me to be
never let my feelings free
you make me think that i\'m your slave
my road for life i just can\'t pave
it has to be the one you want
no matter how the people taunt
be the one you couldn\'t be
but this life comes with a fee
forgetting my dreams
ignoring my screams
no one cares
your anger fit scares
forcing me to do as you please
getting down and begging on my knees
let me be the person inside
please don\'t make me have to hide
all the feelings i keep within
almost as if i\'m a sin
making me out to be the perfect child
and hiding me when i get too wild
locked behind my bedroom door
wishing my blood was hitting the floor
behind my mask can you not hear me
please come and set me free
screaming for my life to end
my heart inside just cannot mend
broken and torn
my soul well worn
my shattered heart just one big bruise
this is the fight i always lose
telling me to blend with the crowd
but all the noise is way too loud
is anybody really out there
does anybody really care
everyone is just a fake
this is the path they chose to take
too afraid to say what i feel
no one here knows what\'s real
all too accustomed to perfect lives
not knowing what people do with knives
cutting away all their pain
slitting open their life source vein
ending all the pain and strife
abrupty stopping their senseless life
every day to me is the same
another problem made and i\'m to blame
putting it all on top of my head
making me think of being dead
trying to force the thought away
then knowing inside i\'ve gone a stray
hiding behind a lying smile
knowing the laugh will last only a while
going home and thinking of death
praying i could take my final breath
too afraid of what you\'d say
i keep all my feeling hidden away
i hope you\'re happy you\'ve won your fight
leaving me to cry at night
looking out into empty space
wishing this world was a better place
pulling the blade across my wrist
knowing for sure i won\'t be missed
listening to angry call
i try to stand but only fall
seeing you push open my door
watching you come to me in the floor
hearing your angry voice
this was my only choice
lying here holding on to life
seeing you pick up the bloody knife
looking at the pain in your eyes
stop with all your foolish lies
hearing you say please don\'t go
but it\'s too late, blood has stopped it\'s flow
