You Don't Know

You Don't Know



My eyes burn with the tears
I shed for you.
Yet you don't know.
You don't know how many nights
I cry myself to sleep.
You don't know of the pain
Hidden in my eyes.
You don't know of my broken heart.
How it's been beaten,
Torn apart,
And thrown away like garbage.

You don't know that my smile is fake.
You don't know it's there
To keep you happy.
You don't know I sacrifice my own happiness
For you.
The one who broke my heart.
You don't know the pain I feel everyday.
You don't know how much I suffer.
You don't know how trapped I feel.
You don't know how badly I want to escape.
Even if it's in the extremes.

You don't know how hard it is to live.
To continue what's called "life"
When all I feel inside is dead.
You don't know confused I am.
You don't know how alone I feel.
You don't know crying a river is possible
Until you know how it feels
To have your heart ripped out,
And watch it shatter
Into a million, little pieces.
You don't know this is how I truly feel.
