Dying on the inside,
This pain won’t go away
This pain is here to stay
On the inside.
I lay here on this bed
Fighting the demons in my head.
Empty and cold
Weary with sorrow
Just pretending I am numb
Just wanting death’s angel to come.
Death’s angel to come.
Yet by my side you stay
Though I’m broken every way.
Crushed and crumbled
Torn in despair
Why can no one see this?
Why does no one care?
Crying on the inside,
Dying on the inside,
This pain won’t go away
This pain is here to stay
On the inside
Why am I here;
Why don’t I fear?
Confused and upset
Angry with my existence
I hate myself and this life I sustain
But what I hate the most is causing you pain.
You will not give up on me
Though I wish to set you free.
Free and independent
Without the burdens I impose
You say, for me, you will go to any length
I merely wish I could show you
You are my only source of strength.
Crying on the inside,
Dying on the inside,
This pain won’t go away
This pain is here to stay
On the inside
