Alike

About this girl in my school that I know has issues and should be taken seriously... We have things in common.
You and I
Are quite alike
Me with my silence
You with your life

You're just scared
That they'll look away
You want to win
But you don't want to play

You're stuck in a cloud
With the smiles you're faking
You wanted attention
You know that you're breaking

You and I
Are quite alike
But I am backstage
And you're on spotlight

I'd pull you out
But you'd pull me in
So I'll watch you dive
And you'll watch me swim
