What is here that i can't seem to let go

I smile sure, but it's purely for show

Pain resides here, deep inside

Now making me want to run and hide

There's nothing left here for me anymore

Only painfull memories that are still sore

I try to escape once in a while

Ignoring the hurt and putting on the fake smile

Where is all my happyness and cheer?

Looks like they were traded for sorrow and fear

I don't remember how i got to this place

The fire is gone, you see it in my face

Why do i think it would be better elsewhere?

How could the pain not follow me there?

Different place away from the stress

Isolate myself, a hermit i guess

Maybe i think i would be my best friend

No doubt i'd go crazy in the end

"Family" for me is no more than a word

I am alone, my voice never heard

Thankfully i have the love of my man

When i think i can't, he says that i can

So in reality, who needs my family?

He's always been the one there for me
