Some days it's just too much to bear
I feel like screaming and pulling out hair
I can't even move, I can't even breathe
I don't have enough strength in my soul to deceive
People around me who think I'm alright
My pain stays in the shadows, just out of sight
But some days I don't have the strength that it takes
To put on a smile that's really just fake
It would really be handy, for my weak heart
To hire another to just play the part
Of smiling and acting like all is ok
So I can have time to access the decay
That's eating my insides with fear and despair
And all of the hope that abides in there
Another who looked and acted like me
But not as disheartened as this soul can be
So all of the world can keep spinning round
And I can try planting my feet on the ground
And try to get hold of what's eating me whole
From the horrors of life that has taken its toll
