On the inside

On the outside it could look like I’m ok
On the outside it could be nice to be around
On the inside though is where you would find a broken man
On the inside though is the pain that I try to prentend away

The outside can be polished
The outside can be a mask
The inside quarters of my soul, I only let some people see
The inside pain can’t be hidden forever

If you knew the pain I felt inside would you still love me
If you discovered who I really am, would you still support me
If you knew that I was scared, if you knew that I was afraid
If you found out that I had a past that’s darker than the night

How would you treat my wounded heart, could I trust you to hold it
How would you treat my battered soul, would it mean anything if I just disappeared
I get scared to show my heart because I on the inside I am hurting
I am afraid to let my colors show, because I think they’re not always worth it
