I try and I try

Whisper to me that all will be fine
but we both know that's not how it'll go
I know you said "wait it out"
things get unbearable and we both know

I try and I try
they're not satisfied
I cry and I cry
the hurt is just amplified

Tell me again "It'll be okay"
Tell me lies to keep me at bay

I try and i try
No one will care
I cry and I cry
yet people just stare

Don't let me distract you
it distracts no others
live your life
let me be smothered
