I shut everything in
I lock my heart
and I destroy the key
I pretend to be fine
it's not healthy, I know
but I don't want to be a burden
I don't want to have people worried about me
please don't ask if i'm okay
i might do something stupid
like open up to you
and i'm really tired
of getting close to people
and watching them leave me
like i'm nothing
