Covering Up The Real Me

I have this problem, you see

But once again nobody seems to care

I've taken all I can of this life

I've taken way more than I can bear

I wish someone could see the hurt

The hurt I have felt for years

But nobody seems to care

As I lie here and drown in my tears

The truth is I've sunk so low

And I'm unsure of what to do

I've tried everything imaginable

But I'm sure that means nothing to you

I'm trying to get over all my depression

Trying to work through it so I'm alright

But day after day something goes wrong

So once again I give up the fight

I don't know what's wrong with me

I've yet to understand why,

I feel so alone and misunderstood

And how I continue to cry

The truth is I may never know

And maybe that's how it's supposed to be

So for now I'll wear my pretty little mask

And try to cover up the real me
