Everyone can see outside, but they don’t know what’s within

A storm that hides so deeply, tearing me from deep within

They talk about how easy it is to take a step away

But those who feel the pain know how it haunts them every day

This pain only I know, no one else can ever see

Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free

They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair

But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear

They bring their pretty words, telling me it will get bright

But they don’t see the shadows holding me throughout the night

It’s easy to control the pain that’s never cut you deep

But hard to face the memories that rob you of your sleep

This pain only I know, no one else can ever see

Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free

They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair

But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear

With their advice and comfort, they try to lend me their hand

But in the lonely silence, I’m the one who takes a stand

Each step I take is screaming, but no one hears the sound

For only those who feel the pain know what it’s like to drown

This pain only I know, no one else can ever see

Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free

They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair

But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear

With their advice and comfort, they try to lend me their hand

But in the lonely silence, I’m the one who takes a stand

Each step I take is screaming, but no one hears the sound

For only those who feel the pain know what it’s like to drown

This pain only I know, no one else can ever see

Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free

They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair

But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear
