I'm trying to distinguish the truth between realily,
And the nightmare I'm living in.

I wish you well,
But just know even though we aren't together,
Doesn't mean I don't need you by my side.

I'm holding back tears everytime I see you,
Because I don't want you to know how much I'm hurting.

I can sit up for hours and cry,
But still know in the back of my mind,
Tears won't bring you back.

You can hold it in,
You can pretend it isn't hurting you,
You can fake that smile all you want,
But still know it'll never be the same.

& She hides who she is,
Because she won't open up to anyone.
"I'll never love another", she tells herself,
As she vowels to never trust anyone else.

& You can promise youself it doesn't hurt,
You can hide all the pain behind that smile.
But sweetheart, you can't hide it forever,
They're going to see you're fighting a battle just to survive.

I can drown out the sound of your voice,
But I can't forget the words you said.

You can fake that smile all you want,
But sooner or later people are going to realize,
It no longer has the same meaning as it use to.

& I'm tired of wondering if maybe one day,
Things might go back to the way they were.
