Crying Myself To Sleep

I felt so horrible and I can’t seem to stop crying myself to sleep...
What is wrong with me
Crying yourself to sleep
It’s painful and seems
Like the world will end
You have to pretend
To be happy and not cry
When you feel so much pain inside
Crazy thing is you don’t know why
You cry all alone
You don’t want to go home
You’re falling apart
You don’t know when it starts
But its ripping you up inside
All the stress and all the lies
That you have to tell just to get by
So people don’t find the real you inside
You ask why do you cry
But no one knows
You can’t always show your feelings
That’s not what life’s for
You can’t always seem weak
You can’t always pretend
And sneak your way past the pain
Because it will always come back again
The pain you feel always passes
Nothing in life really lasts
I have someone in my life
He’s the person who helps me survive
He’s the one that gives me hope
To never let go
I love him down to my very soul
He’s the one that helps me not cry
He’s sometimes the reason I stay alive
When I am to down to look in the mirror
Cuz of all the tears I think of him
He makes me feel better deep within
But when you cry yourself to sleep
It’s painful and seems
Like the world will end
So you just have to pretend
When you cry and don’t know why
Let it pass because the pain won’t last
