Life's just too simple a game for me.
People come to me with their problems,
And I tell them what to do,
I give them the options,
And they always say, "I owe you."

They say I've got all the answers,
Life's just too simple game for me,
But none of them truly know,
None of them truly see.

I can solve all of their problems,
But my own envlope me,
I cannot find the answers myself
Oh God, what's wrong with me?

I look in the mirror now,
And see myself, the broken me,
The me I let myself become,
The me I let myself be.

I never was one to cry
Self-pity isn't my way
But it's hard not to
It's hard not to today.

I need to talk to someone
I need to let it all out
But I don't think anyone will listen
No one will care, without a doubt.

I have all the answers,
Life's just too easy for me,
But if anyone should notice,
If anyone should see...

So I hide behind my little mask,
And melt back into a crowd,
I look like I have it all together
So no one can figure out.

I won't let them notice,
I can't let them see
How weak I truly am
That would ruin me.

I run away from the fact
I don't want it to be true
But deep inside I know
It waits for me and you.

It haunts me in my dreams
It haunts me when I awake
It haunts me everywhere I go
Every step I should take.

I'm getting very good at deceiving
Even my closet friends haven't seen
It's almost disappointing
I want them to help me.

I'm gorwing very tired now
I'm sick of all the lies,
But I can't stop now because--
I really don't know why.

Everyone looks up to me
I'd be letting them all down
I have to be the perfect one
The pressure's on now.

And so I just wait here,
Waiting for someone to see
Someone to notice my pain
And see the real me...
