Pain to you,
May not be pain to me
Isn't it bad enough,
That my mind won't let me be?

But then there's you,
Labelling as I cry
Telling me I'm worthless,
And my self esteem dies

What I feel isn't something,
In which I take pride
I wish that I was normal,
To my past I wasn't tied

Pain to you,
May not be pain to me
But pain is pain,
Can't you see?

We've all felt hopeless,
We've all been there
When we're burdened by the world,
And we're too done to care

So why can't you see me,
As someone who's fighting through
Alas, sometimes I might break,
But I'm human too

Pain to you,
May not be pain to me
You won't ever know,
My side to the story.

Pain is avoiding talking to people so that they won't hear the earthquakes in your voice, see the tsunamis in your eyes and the drought in your heart.
