I tried
To be the hero
To be the smile
To be the love
Always the strong one
Brushing myself off
Pick it back up
Work hard
No time too play
Work hard
Love hard
Make sacrifices for dreams
Dreams that weren't mine
Dreams I'm not sure I ever wanted
Sacrifices for beings that just thought
It was my duty
To be dirty
Tired
Half smile
Wells of tears
No how are yous'
Brush yourself off
Smile
Act like its okay
Don't show your slowly dying
Slowly dying
While they live
so strong
And when my fragile nature crashed
I was still expected to
Be strong
Be the love
Be the smile
While I picked up my glass pieces
You just crushed them
At the bottom of your sole
Amongst the pain
Still fragile
But my fragility was never allowed
So if i become a villian
Will you be able to love me now
