You've Hidden Me

Found in the darkness of my soul
Beats slowly the heart of a lover
It begins to slow
Tear
Crack
Break
The pain I can no longer take.

I wish I could make you happy
It just seems like too much of a task
It always hurts me
When I feel I must wear a mask.

I always hide my pain with a smile
Always fight the fear with a tear
But when I just can not take it anymore
Its the razor at hand I fear.

I am never good enough for what you have to offer
You can do so much better than me
You take and rip my heart to shreds
While you just wait and see.

See the pain I've gone through
Just look into my eyes
Even though I may not hate
I am sure I can despise.

I must change my appearence to impress you
No matter what I like to see
Here, let me use my mask of hidden souls
Why won't you let it just be me?

I am growing tired of being fake
You've taken my identity
How much more are you able to take?
Before you have finally taken the real me.
