NOBODY KNOWS

I feel like somethings missing Got me praying for happiness, but I just can't seem to find it so I lock it up and hide it And nobody knows to the point where it over flows And I can't seem to control it so I'm praying Lord give me hope But I'm tryna talk to God but I'm hearing Satan Feel like happiness is just an unrealistic expectation These whispers fill my head, putting me in situations But if you don't love your imperfections in the end you'll still be waiting But I disregard advice 'cus nobody knows better than me Even though they've been through this more times than I ever see Just try to move on but live off the memories I'll put a fake smile on and bring some good energy But all these thoughts in my head got me looking at people differently Yeah, they're smiling but are the happy inside? Are the suffering in silence but managing to get by? As I'm sitting in the dark using these thoughts to pass time Maybe i'm just overthinking, shift it off and say that's life But the feeling of darkness will never shift from your mind And you'll always have that same empty look in your eye of defeat But maybe i'm just being too negative So I look for a sedative, the musics my medicine I've got a point to prove so i'm gathering my rhythm But we're always wanting more in this real Cole world And you ain't never gon' be happy till you love yours See I considered suicide but I don't see it as an option But from time to time I just can't shift it from my conscience All these questions fill my mind and I just can't seem to stop it Am i living to die? Or am i just over exhausted? I don't know, but I do know that you're never alone And these feelings of emptiness aren't the end of the road So if your feeling cold, know I'm here if you need someone to talk or just relate to things that nobody knows Things that nobody knows
