We're all hurting
One way or another.
I lie to you
And I die inside.
You get hurt because
Of my lies
Lies that are
Supposed to numb
Me, my feelings
Guard me from harm.
We're all hurting
One way or another.
You ignore me
Because you don't
Know what to say.
You're lost, I'm lost
Right along with you.
We're all hurting
One way or another.
We think about
What could've been
We get each other's
Hopes up
And then watch them
Burn. To nothing.
But when we're all
Hurting one way or another,
Nothing is the
Opposite of
What we feel.
And feeling everything
All at once
Is the worst feeling
Of them all.
