I can't show that I'm b r e a k i n g.
I can't let people down.
I must keep on pretending
And never show a frown.
I know you'll say you worry,
How I've got to let you in,
How you know that I am hurting
Underneath that sparkling grin.
But I feel like tears are weakness
Though I know that isn't true.
But if anyone will see me cry,
I can't let it be you.
I don't want you to worry,
Though I know it's cause you care.
I'll carry my own burden
This is something I won't share.
It's only cause I love you
That I want to hide my tears.
But I know you see right through me
To my secrets and my fears.
Please, oh please don't worry
That's a burden you don't need.
Wounds heal with time even
If it's broken hearts that bleed.

I just don't want to burden anyone else with my emotions when they have their own lives and problems. I hope no one else feels this way, because it's a terrible feeling. But if you do, I hope you find comfort in knowing you are not alone.
