It’s hard to tell the difference
Between what I know and what I feel
I know the line is somewhere
But this all feels too surreal
The more I care, the more it hurts
Emotions break my heart
I hope to God I fall asleep
Before I fall apart
My head it spins in circles
I’m sad most of the time
For deep inside where nothings fine
I feel I’ve lost my mind
Faking a smile is easier
Than explaining feeling broken
Silence a cover for my pain
Words that just cannot be spoken
We all get addicted to something
That takes away the pain
But that starts to destroy us
From our body to our mind
Unexpressed emotions
Will never disappear
They only grow much stronger
Bringing with them greater fear
A day, a date, a name
Triggers they become
A feeling, a fear, a memory
Flashbacks make me want to run
The sadness hurts too much now
I want to break down, to be free
Instead I’m drawn to the blade
It helps me start to feel empty
I know it’s better to let the tears come
Than to keep it all inside
But the blade’s already drawing blood
Another battle I must hide
I’m tired of trying, of hoping, just coping
Trying not to fall apart
I’m tired of cutting, of using the blade
To ease my broken heart
Unexpressed emotions
Will never disappear
Unless I let myself feel them
To dissipate the fear
Unexpressed emotions
Will never disappear
But no matter how many times my friends ask
My mask I will always wear
Unexpressed emotions
Are beginning to break through
The blade it calls me near again
It is all I know to do
Unexpressed emotions
Are beginning to break through
But my answer will always be I’m fine
Even if not true
Unexpressed emotions
Will never ever die
I have to try and feel them
But I am scared that I will cry
