Sunny side

Sleeping again, are you dreaming?
When you're weeping, are you screaming
Inside; die a little each time
Hard to forget but it's easy to hide
You thought life would have more of a sunny side

Angry again, are you seething?
Fits of rage keeping you sick for days
Those sad eyes are saying things that give you away
That stone cold face melts when it rains
Stuck in place because you're afraid of change

You've built walls for a reason
Built them tall in a hard season
No one understands why you need them
Trying to climb means risking it all
You won't admit it's lonely behind those walls

Open up, I want to see inside
Know where you are and where you've been
Not many friends have open eyes
Don't let this just slip right by
You might not find
Someone else with eyes like mine

You don't get why life didn't shine
You thought it would have more of a sunny side
Maybe it just wasn't time...and maybe now it is.
