Can You Hear Me?

All my life i have been uncertain
I am always smiling, on the outside
I try to hide the shame and wash away the pain.

I did what i did cause i love them
Sometimes it may not seem like it was the right thing to do, i hope it was.

There is nothing you can say, there is nothing you can do. What had to be done, is done.. there is no going back.
Though i wish i could.

I remember it so clearly.. I hope you can hear me.

I find my life will never be the same. I can't bring you back, you're not coming back.
