Everyone can see outside, but they don’t know what’s within A storm that hides so deeply, tearing me from deep within They talk about how easy it is to take a step away But those who feel the pain know how it haunts them every day This pain only I know, no one else can ever see Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear They bring their pretty words, telling me it will get bright But they don’t see the shadows holding me throughout the night It’s easy to control the pain that’s never cut you deep But hard to face the memories that rob you of your sleep This pain only I know, no one else can ever see Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear With their advice and comfort, they try to lend me their hand But in the lonely silence, I’m the one who takes a stand Each step I take is screaming, but no one hears the sound For only those who feel the pain know what it’s like to drown This pain only I know, no one else can ever see Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear With their advice and comfort, they try to lend me their hand But in the lonely silence, I’m the one who takes a stand Each step I take is screaming, but no one hears the sound For only those who feel the pain know what it’s like to drown This pain only I know, no one else can ever see Like a thorn stuck in my heart, it’s too hard to set it free They say it’s simple to heal, to rise above the despair But only those who live it know the weight they have to bear
