Truth Is
Truth is she's scared to death,
Truth, is she doesn't know how to rest
Each day a struggle,
The more she tries,
The more she loses a part of herself
The truth is she cries herself to sleep,
Though you'd never know this
Truth, is she puts on a brave face,
Even though it feels like a never-ending race
Folding the laundry,
While silently cursing in her mind
Truth is you only see what she shows you,
You know nothing else
Truth, is you judge by what you see,
But you never hear her pleas
When things go wrong,
Nothing you say or do
Will ever make them right
She struggles with the voices in her head
Every single day and night
Telling her she's not good enough,
Telling her that no matter what she does,
It will never really matter
She picks herself up from the floor again,
Putting on the brave face,
That is getting all too easy
She used to wear her heart on her sleeve,
Now she's scared to let it go
Scared that the person she gives her heart to next,
Will rip her in two
How do you trust when the one that you love,
Destroyed all the hope you ever had
How do you love again,
When every person you loved,
Doesn't end up loving you back
They say in time it gets easy
Just learn to breathe,
That love is worth the wait
Though if you're constantly waiting
Only to leave breaking,
Is it worth it at all?
The truth is she wants to believe,
The truth is she's struggling,
Slowly losing hope,
Slowly losing herself,
She will spread her wings,
One of these days she will find what she lost behind
The truth is she's happier than she ever been,
Though it just feels like sometimes she can never win
Truth is she's thankful for everything she has,
You will never hear her admit defeat
Truth is she is realizing how strong she really is,
Truth is she will never let anyone else ever win
Truth is...
