Try to defend myself so I can be free. Try to separate myself from the cold misery. It's no hope, I just can't break away. It's no hope, for times three I will pay.
Words are worse than sticks and stones, if said right. Words leave worse scars; words can bite. They shatter my soul, they break my heart. I don't want to be like that, I won't have any part.
So I'll hold my tongue and wear a smile. I'll send my feelings down the river Nile. My world is better through the mask. Where I do what she says and the anger doesn't last.
But as I lay in my bed I know I can't hide from the hateful words that eat me up inside. I can't sleep anymore, I'll lie awake. I'll plan ahead for my big escape.
But in my hearts of hearts I grudgingly believe that without a doubt I'll never leave. For deep down inside I know will love her anyway, forever still.
Won't let anyone see, won't let anyone hear the feelings I have inside, the feelings I myself endure. Whenever they're here I smile so sweet. Whenever they're gone I lay down and weep.
This is my world.
