I CARE

I care a lot,
I just don't let it show,
Just because I don't cry,
Doesn't mean that I don't know
How much it hurts,
How much it pains.
Trust me when I say that I know.

They think I'm selfish
Just because I don't let it show
I think they don't know me
Cuz if they did they would know

That I hurt too
I just don't let them know.

It hurts me too
It pains me too
You just don't know
Cuz I don't let you know
The battle I'm fighting
Every single day
Covered up by the fake smiles
And the half hearted waves.
