Never Enough

In front of others I'm just your game But you smile so sweet as if there's no shame A play that goes on and never takes blame When we first met everything felt right I was strong filled with hope my future bright But slowly you turned me inside out Said all of me was wrong twisted with doubt Your words are poison spreading all about When I ask why you never seem to hear You say everything's fine that I exaggerate my fear In your eyes I'm never enough I wish I could be but it's always too tough Always smiling never crying But why does it hurt so deep why am I dying? You see my tears yet you turn away Your empty smile just pushes me astray You want me silent just to stay in place But my heart seeks freedom it needs its own space When I say I'll stay the way I am You say that's fine with a tone so damn bland But then you scream I'm too much to take You say you're leaving like it's all a mistake I'm tired of playing the roles you make When I ask why you never seem to hear You say everything's fine that I exaggerate my fear In your eyes I'm never enough I wish I could be but it's always too tough Always smiling never crying But why does it hurt so deep why am I dying? You see my tears yet you turn away Your empty smile just pushes me astray You want me silent just to stay in place But my heart seeks freedom it needs its own space Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah Tell me the truth what's really inside So I'm not lost in the doubts that divide Show me your face honest and true So all our illusions can finally fall through I'm tired of silence tired of these lies Of all of these games that tear us in tides Your words cut deep sharper than steel They steal my peace they make me kneel If you don't need me then let me be free I just need freedom to finally be me When I ask why you never seem to hear You say everything's fine that I exaggerate my fear In your eyes I'm never enough I wish I could be but it's always too tough Always smiling never crying But why does it hurt so deep why am I dying? You see my tears yet you turn away Your empty smile just pushes me astray You want me silent just to stay in place But my heart seeks freedom it needs its own space In the end I take your words as they are Even knowing I've lost myself gone too far I give in in silence until I'm left with no scar Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah
