I leave a rose, for you my dear,
I erase my smile and shed a tear.
it's hard to trust what I know is fake,
It's hard to move on, when i know I'm going to break.
I can't pretend I don't cry through it all,
I can't pretend I don't scream when I see you fall.
I can't pretend I don't feel your pain,
I can't pretend I will feel the same.
Your smile makes me want to scream,
And down my face, my tears stream.
I say I'm OK, before you ask,
I've got to keep up with my changing mask.
You can't even hear what I'm trying to say.
"I love you", But it's never enough,
But, I love you too much to ever give up.
I scream on the inside, hoping you'll hear,
The beating of your heart intensifies,
The one bold truth beneath the lies.
Just listen to me, no matter what you do,
No matter what happens, I will still love you.
