Nobody Knows

Nobody knows it's empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there...

Nobody knows I am crying.

They won't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here...

Nobody knows it's painful.

They think that I am strong.
They say it won't kill me,
But I wonder if they are wrong...

Nobody knows I miss you.

They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains,
Trapped in the mystery...

Nobody knows I need you.

They think I can do it on my own,
But they don't know I am crying
When I am all alone...

Lost

I thought it was a dream; I thought it wasn't real,
But pain really hurts and it's really how I feel.
Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the tears.
I hear your voice, and as quick as the smile came, it quickly
disappears.
I don't know what is happening, because you always held my
hand.

You said you would never let go; that is what I don't understand.
So many promises you made, and more of them broken.
Lost and confused, feels like I'm choking.
A lot of things I did not say;
Now I can't find my way.

I feel like a boomerang; you throw me but not only that.

Every time you throw me, I always seem to come back.
Back to you, back to pain.
Nothing has changed, you're still the same.

I cannot start over because I don't know where to start.

I guess that is what happens when someone breaks your heart.
If we are supposed to follow our dreams, why can't I follow you?
Because now I am so lost, I wish you were lost without me too.
