On the inside



I’m Laughing on the outside and I’m crying on the in I’ve been left behind so many  times and it’ll happen again and again
You say your sorry you say you love me but I feel like I’m less than a friend and why would you do it again just to watch me give up in the end
I’ll just pretend that it’s ok and continue in this way because it doesn’t matter what you do it doesn’t matter what you say Cuz I’m in love with you even though I’m Laughing on the outside and crying on the in
You won’t care you won’t see what really goes on how I really feel the truth is I’m fading but on the outside I’m Laughing and on the inside I’m dying
