That pain inside your heart; I know it all too well
You see it in me every day
The darkness of my soul; it looms over you
And I never wished it was this way

Deep inside my mind is a burning world of pain and fire
I live in it; burn in it; die in it
I never wanted any of this endless living hell
To play out before your eyes

I want you to know I never meant any of it
I wish it were true that anything could help
I want you to know you're innocent in this
The loving words you say mean the world to me

The pain I feel is not your fault
It's plagued me all my life
The blood I've spilt and hate I've felt
A symptom of the strife

My life is worth just a fraction
Of the love you give
It means the world to me just
To be there by your side

I wish I never had this hidden world beneath the skin
I wish you never had to see this horrid part of me
I wish we never fought like this; my heart shatters at the thought
I wish my soul wasn't tainted by this troubled sea

I want you to know I never meant any of it
I wish it were true that anything could help
I want you to know you're innocent in this
The loving words you say mean the world to me

If I ever see the light
I'll be there by your side
I want you to know I love you so much more
Than the demons inside want you to see

If you could get inside my mind,
Youd look for something deep, dark, and dangerous
But I,
I would just look for hope

The glass broke
Like my voice when I spoke
When my head insisted
But my heart persisted
But life goes on
Ill be "ok" by dawn
