I tried to be strong
I tried to be secure
Not only for me,
But also for her
Trying so hard to be tough
But I'm just putting on an act
Nobody knows anything is wrong
It's courage that I lack
Spending all of my days crying
Trying to choke back the despair
You don't know how badly
I wish she was here
I don't want to be a burden
I'm too proud for that
My sanity is fading
I'm about to crack
Hunched over in the shadows
The remaining part of me
I guess I'm just not strong enough
I'm starting to give up, you see
I wanted her to think I could do it
But now it's plain as can be
I'm going to be suffering in silence
Look what pride's done to me.
