My tears drop and no one sees I am crying
I smile even if deep down I am hurting

I try to be happy cause everyone is happy
I try so hard to be more like the rest

It is strange I don’t feel alive when I am awake
I’m scared to end up all alone
Not that I have you here

Oh, if only you were here!
I wouldn’t be in so much pain
If only you were here
