  • Fuck!

    These are the hardest four years of my life
    They walk right by me heads turned with closed eyes
    They don't even see me
    At night in my house, I'm still all alone
    This is not a home they don't even see me

    The scars on my body, they don't even bleed
    I never do this for me
    The scars on my body, they don't even bleed
    I only do this for you to see

    How am I supposed to
    See through your eyes?
    When you never saw the stars
    Were falling at your feet

    Is it a song? Is that what they need?
    For so long I've tried to get them to hear me
    Picking and stabbing their words feel like knives
    Tearing and ripping the seams of my life

    I've tried to convince them, their words hurt like stones
    I just wish they'd just leave me alone

    I am on my knees
    I need you to hear me
    I am on my knees
    Hear me, please

    How am I supposed to
    To hear what you hear
    When you never heard sounds
    Of our glass hearts breaking
    With every tick of the clock when you are

    Gone!

    How am I supposed to
    See through your eyes?

    I know what you've been through, this hell is my life
    You have to keep pushing, I've seen through your eyes
    Your days are like pages, the chapters unread
    You have to keep turning your book has no end Writer/s: Aaron Pauley, Alan Ashby, Austin Carlile, Phil Manansala, Valentino Arteaga
