The Burden My Words Weighed

I cried when I said I was fine,

I lied when I said I knew what was mine.

I sighed when I said I was wrong,

Cause I didn\'t want to drag it along.

I went numb when I said I hadn\'t slept,

I hid when I said I hadn\'t wept.

I slept when I said I couldn\'t,

I got up when I said I shouldn\'t.

I wiped my eyes when they went teary,

I bled when I said it wasn\'t sheary.

I stabbed myself when I said I was okay,

I doubted myself when I said I wasn\'t low-key.
