it doesn't matter that I am broken inside

there is no reason for you to count the tears I cried

cause you know it doesn't matter, no it doesn't matter

so you just keep breathing, don't worry about me

I will be the strong one giving everyone else what they need

cause you know it doesn't matter, no it doesn't matter



cause I have been broken for so long

and I keep trying so hard to be strong

it's all I can do to keep from crying

I don't want anyone to know that inside I am dying

sometimes I swear I am being eaten alive

trying to get through just one moment more to survive



it doesn't matter that I am bleeding to death

and all I can do sometimes is just hold my breath

cause you know I am the one who has got it together

so just do what you have to do to get by

I will always be there to take away the tears you cry

cause you know I am the one who has got it all together



cause you know I never break in front of anyone

I only do it by myself when I am alone with no one

I never let anyone hold me in their arms and comfort me

cause I am the one that's got to be there for everybody

sometimes I swear I am being eaten alive

trying to get through just one moment more to survive



it doesn't matter that the smile on my face isn't real

and it doesn't matter that sometimes pain is all I feel

cause only a broken soul can heal the broken

you can lean on me and I will be strong for you

I have died inside every night but you never even knew

cause only a broken soul can heal the broken



cause for so long I have washed myself with tears

and in the night I scream with pain no one hears

and no one knows what it's like to have demons in your head

to want to scream, to want to cry but smiling instead

sometimes I swear I am being eaten alive

trying to get through just one moment more to survive
