And I'm The Girl

I’m the girl,
who hides behind a smile everyday.
I’m the girl,
who has a tough exterior.
But that’s not who I really am.
I’m the girl,
who has a lot of problems,
But doesn't share one thing.
I’m the girl,
who keeps everything bottled up.

Sometimes I just need someone to talk to.
Someone to care about me.
Someone to listen to my problems.
Someone to hold me when I cry.

Nobody knows the real me.
Nobody knows what I go through everyday.
Nobody knows what I have to do just to make it through the day.
Nobody knows that I’m the girl who isn’t who I say I am.
And I’m the girl who will cry herself to sleep every night.
