Nobody Knows

Nobody knows how much my chest aches

Because I don't tell them

Nobody sees the tears in my eyes

Because I look away

Nobody knows the confusion in my head

Because I don't speak of it

Nobody knows how much my arms ache for a hug

Because I hold back a step

Nobody knows the fear in my mind

Because I act brave

Nobody knows how sad I am

Because I always smile

Nobody knows that I am not okay

Because I always say I'm fine

Nobody knows I secretly want to die

Because they wouldn't understand

Nobody knows the extent I go to just to cope

Because I hide in the darkness

Nobody feels the weight on my shoulders

Only I can feel it

Nobody knows I'm always alone

Because I'm always alone
