Smiling in That Picture Frame
written by ieatsmellysocks07:57 PM 11/29/04I hear you walking down the hall
I wipe my tears, hide the knife and clean the blood on my wall
And then you knock and walk right in
You ask if im ok and I guiltily grin
I pretend im happy pretend im ok
Because if I cry you’ll hurt me like you did all the other days
You walk out thinking that im fine
I start cutting again like I do all the time
Things are getting harder to hide
Im getting tired of keeping everything inside
You read my diary but its all fake
I know that trusting you was a mistake
I wipe my tears
Hide my beer
I fake a smile I even laugh
But then I cry when I see my photograph
Smiling in that picture frame
But in my eyes you can see my pain
I just want to take off my mask and show you the real me
But you wont be pleased with what you see
I pretend im happy pretend im ok
Because if I cry you’ll hurt me like you did all the other days
You walk out thinking that im fine
I start cutting again like I do all the time |
