Broken

I will give up everything just to be happy again
I put on a fake smile hoping it will numb the pain
What it actually does feels like hiding my tears in the rain
The thought of deceiving everyone except me drives me insane

I know you don't love me but my heart doesn't understand that
It still has feelings for someone who thinks I'm substandard
This rejection is so intense that not everyone can withstand that
I may move on after mourning my feelings for you I once had

Don't leave me hanging with a thousand words unspoken
Every passing day is a nightmare I need to be awaken
There's too much on my mind and I'm barely coping
I can't fake happiness in a crowd it's obvious I'm moping

I love myself already, I just need to be cared for
Knowing you're less concerned hurts me to the core
I'm persistent yet if I fail, I'm walking out the door
Because I'm broken by this love story gone sour
