Sometimes I feel the need,
the need to cry.
Not always knowing the reason why.
Ever feel like your life is pointless?
dead end job, I'm living with my mom.
I feel as though everything is useless.
sometimes I cry all through the night.
Then I hear the laughter, I see the smiles,
of my princess and my angel,
that makes everything alright.
While all the while I'm thinking...
No one knows but me ( but do I?)
No one else can see ( but do they?)
Don't you understand ( listen closely)
If I don't know me...
then who the hell can?
I waste my time smoking cigarettes and feeling so blue,
bet if you met me, you would never know.
for these feelings are hidden, they are not for show.
I laugh and I smile, I'm an actress (thats for sure)
I don't take pity so don't try cheering me up.
I need to figure out for myself why I'm so screwed up.
No one knows but me ( but do I? )
No else can see ( but do they? )
Don't you understand ( listen closely )
If I don't know me...
then who the hell can?
Sinking so deep in my own state of mind.
Sometimes my thoughts are not so kind.
Twisting and turning in my undiscovered destiny.
What will I become, what am I meant to be?
Who is this person beneath my skin?
Where am i? It's so cold, when can I be let in?
I am outside of my boundaries, but slowly getting closer.
I am picking myself apart.
Rebuilding myself over.
I start to find myself, only to start again.
When, when, WHEN...
will I ever find the end?
No one knows but me ( but do I? )
No one else can see ( but do they? )
Don't you understand? ( listen closely )
If I don't know me...
then who the hell can?
