Break

Overworked, over whelmed, under payed
She's been putting on a mask so they think that she's okay
Every day and night she fakes it
I don't think she's gonna make it
I can tell that pretty soon she's gonna break
All those times you told her not to feel the way she feels
All those things you called her, they tore away her shield
All those times we made her feel she's different from us all
Now we can only wait, wait and try to break her fall
The tension grew so quickly and I never realized how
She's breaking, slowly, and there's nothing we can do to change that now
