You don't understand.

Don't say you understand

Just don't, please

You don't know a thing about how I feel

How could you?

You don't understand it's because of you

I Put on a brave face because I have too

Inside still filled with thoughts nobody will ever hear

I Smile so people don't worry

Its them we protect not ourselves

A wall around me is all I have

A wall to stop the hurting get in

Putting up barriers is all I can do

To stop the thoughts coming in

But...

The thoughts still come

The day still breaks

The light still fades

The darkness folds in

And I still feel stuck

Don't say you understand

Just don't, please

You don't know a thing about how I feel

You don't understand so don't say you do.

Please.
