I fight so hard against these tears
Though it always rips me up inside
And I grow a little wiser through the years
I guess I like to sometimes think I am
Not quite so strong, not quite so weak
Running as fast, as hard as I possibly can
I still keep on falling farther and farther behind
And everything just hurts so bad
How come it seems I always find
Everyone smiling in a world of pain
Even as the world spins and swirls
Even as we all begin to grow a bit insane
In the shadows we hide, our grief grows strong
How can you not feel sorry for yourself
When everything in your life feels so wrong
Even as we all fall down and die
Even as we fade and are forgotten
Everyone can remember how hard we cry
