You smiled. To hide the pain
The only way you could find to bring light to days
The sun never really shined bright your way
But you tried and you tried to survive the rain
What if you held on, what if you might have stayed
What if things really started to be fine by May
What if something had changed and you'd find a way
Then maybe yours would be a life that they might have saved
Uh, I guess what i'm trying to say
Is that you really weren't supposed to die that way
I can't relate to your pain but i've tried, okay?
But I know recovery and the time that takes
See, I didn't even know you
But even those that knew you didn't know you
If you'd shown them, then maybe they could have shown you
How much you mean and the length's that they'd go to
Uh, There's this saying I heard, and it's so true
Our lives are built on what we go through
I know you didn't deserve what you were dealt
But if they knew how you'd felt, maybe then you'd have known the truth


I'm talking to you now, wherever you are
Maybe you've got this playing through the stereo of your car
Maybe you're sitting in your room, trying to forget who you are
Reblogging every image that makes you remember the scars
It's never too hard, to turn back, relapse, just to feel something
You'd rather feel pain, than to feel nothing
You just want to understand yourself
Even got to the point where you demanded help
You went from doctor to doctor feeling lost in the hospi-
tal, with the walls and the rules feeling locked up
I know it's hard, i'm not trying to say it's easy
and I know you always hear this, so you don't have to believe me
But don't give in to the lie behind the smile
Try to find a way to make it maybe find that you can fly
And don't you ever let them take the light behind your eyes.
You're stronger than you see, or might even believe
See, you can't predict the end like MCR
So don't let your future reflect your past
Live for today and we'll be set apart
And not be another generation filled with empty hearts
