Pillar of Strength

I feel like everybody wants something from me

 Everybody has a problem that I need to set free

 I am everybody's shoulder to cry on

 But when I need somebody there's no one

 

I hurt so much inside but I have to be strong

 Everybody looks up to me like I can do no wrong

They are so blind they can't see me

 Only those who look, like really look, can see

 

 What’s funny is no one asks how do you do

 Their only focus is them and can't see that you're blue

 Sometimes you try to reach out but it's a waste of time

 Because they only care about what's on their mind

 

 As soon as I start talking they cut me off

 They're only concerned with them and not my cross

 So I will continue to burn up inside

And be the pillar of strength for them on the outside
