Brave Face of Pain

All I've ever wanted was to be wanted,

Not neglected and ignored anymore.

I thought I had finally found the one-

The one that saw right through me

The one that was gonna make everything okay;

But he hurt me worse than them all.

It's time to put on a brave face.

To rise to the challenge of this

My greatest acting role:

To love, when I'm unlovable;

To smile, when all I wanna do is cry;

To somehow have the strength

That he doesn't know is inside.

And now I wait, to see this battle to the end,

And hope and pray that one day,

Everything will be okay again.

It can go back to how it was before:

The love and laughter,

Not the anger and conditions,

The smiles not tears,

The love and not fear.

He used to say he was afraid of losing me,

Now, I think he's more afraid of keeping me.

But who was I to think anyone would ever

Truly want me?
