You

You don't understand,

You never do.

I try to explain,

But I can't get through to you.

I tell you the truth

That I feel so depressed,

But you say I'm okay.

I thought you would know best.

So I sit in my room,

Locked in my personal hell,

While you pretend it's all good

And I do as well.

But I'm not okay,

And my friends know that too,

But you can't seem to see

What is right in front of you.

You say it's a phase,

Blame my friends for it all,

But you don't understand

That this is not their fault.

I can't live like this.

I can't live this life,

And as much as I tried,

I can't end it with a knife.

I know you've been through this,

That you ached so much more,

But I can't help but wonder

Don't you know me at all!?

I thought you would get it,

Why I'm acting this way,

But you don't listen

To what I have to say.

You just ignore me,

Pretend I'm alright.

I want this to end.

I feel like I might...

But I'm not as strong

As I'd like to be,

So I’ll act all normal

While I wait patiently

For my time to come

And I hope that it's soon.

My friends understand;

I wish you could, too.

But you don't understand,

And I know it's not fair,

But sometimes I feel

Like you don't even care.

I feel all alone,

But I know that's not true.

I have all my friends,

But I wish I had you.

I know with my friends

I'll make it through this,

Even though it feels like

My life's falling to bits.

You don't understand.

You never do,

But I hope with their help

I can make it through.
