I Gotta Pull Through

I really don’t want to 

be feeling this way 

not listening at all 

pushing people away 

what they just don't realize 

is I’m crying out for help 

I need somebody, anybody 

but what I'm feeling I can't tell 

I know how much I'd hurt you 

but I’m choked so I can't breathe 

I know I don't belong here 

I think I better leave 

all I ever wanted was someone 

who told me I was special 

deserved so much more than all this pain 

cause my heart isn't made of metal 

it took all the strength I have ever had 

to pull myself right through 

but all I knew within my heart 

is it's what I had to do 

I see that girl I used to be 

that just could not escape 

the friendly smile, happy face 

the way she was portrayed 

no one knew deep down inside 

that her life was just a fast joyride 

she knew that it would end in tears 

but there was no way to ease her fears 

I’m looking back on who I was 

before I found a way 

to talk, express the way I feel 

that’s why I’m here today 

I know it may seem that there’s no way out 

but there is, I know without a doubt 

I don't want to see you hurt like me 

honey, I have to make you see 

you're worth so much more 

than having to listen 

to hurtful words 

cause you know you can glisten 

you deserve to just smile 

without having to fake 

all the walls that surround you 

you'll find ways to break .
