Goodbye

The face I wear is empty
Indifferent
Dead
I cannot bring myself to smile

The mask I wear is blank
Emotionless
Cold
It hides the pain inside

I hold it all back
Hide it from the world
My pain
My pain is not for others

I must be strong for those around
I must be strong
Why must I be strong?

Why couldn't you be my strength?
Why couldn't you stay?
Why can't I cry on your shoulders
The way others now cry on mine?

The face I wear is not but fake
Hiding tears that should be falling
Hiding pain I can't erase

You brought more joy than life itself
And jealous life took back its gift

As I hide the pain inside
I wonder if you're happy
Are you happy where you are?

Goodbye
