Growing Pains
Crying and sighing and dying on the inside
while on the outside I wear a mask of happiness
Seeking a soul that left me long ago
or maybe I just think so I don't know
struggling to rebuild a dream
that crumbled against the stream of time
passionately hating all that I am
while still loving the woman I might've been
Clutching at my broken heart
trying to mend the tears
Meanwhile I still feel all the fear
the loneliness of all these long forgotten years
You are who you are we are constantly told
Build on that and you can still grow
It's just so hard you know
while on the outside I wear a mask of happiness
Seeking a soul that left me long ago
or maybe I just think so I don't know
struggling to rebuild a dream
that crumbled against the stream of time
passionately hating all that I am
while still loving the woman I might've been
Clutching at my broken heart
trying to mend the tears
Meanwhile I still feel all the fear
the loneliness of all these long forgotten years
You are who you are we are constantly told
Build on that and you can still grow
It's just so hard you know
