On The Outside 

 

      Look in my eyes

      The great deep well of pain

      Look deeply

      On the outside it doesn't show

      On the inside it is not for all to see

      All the pain, the source of my unhappiness

      No one sees the unhappiness

      Unless they look deeper

      My laughter - a guise

      that happy aura you talk about

      Only a guise to the pain

      The pain of living

      Living alone

      Not having anyone who cares

      No one seems to care

      The pain of being told I'm wrong

      Of being told my thoughts are wrong

      I'm not allowed to think that

      Because they say I'm wrong

      I'm dumb - how stupid

      I'm not allowed to open up

      So I keep the pain inside

      Only if you look deep in my eyes

      You wil see the pain

      On the outside
