Why?

Every time I look into your eyes
I see a kind, broken heart
I see a shadow of the person you used to be
before the world turned dark

When I hear the stories about you
I realized that you died a little inside
I know you've been stomped and hurt
but I hope you can see the sun again

They say you are loud
but I know the silence is killing you
you are loud
because you're afraid that the sad and
loneliness will start speaking

You lost your touch
you say you are failing
but I personally think
you're just too hurt to keep pushing

You look at every detail
because you want to be perfect
but in my eyes you are nothing
but perfection in the form of a human
