When I look cold and complacent
Don't bury me dead
I'm only scared
If I seem like I don't care
Don't turn away
I'm just afraid
Afraid of you and what I feel
I'm scared of me and what you think
You see
The hurt one laughs the most
And when I'm distant and absent
Do not condemn me
Don't walk away
If I say something harsh and mean
Don't hold it against me
It's fear that speaks
Laughing hard
Talking big
Playing it cool
Don't you see it's all a mask?
Scared of me
Fear of you
Broken in two
Would you care to find out who I really am?
No!
