Moving On

The teardrops on my cheek
Mirror raindrops on the pane
As I watch the candle burn
I get caught up in the flame
I feel like I caught fire
I'm burning up my dreams
And the life that I am forced to lead
Is harder than it seems
I don't have any answers
I'm done looking for the truth
I know that I can never win
The battles of my youth
Schoolyard friends are enemies
Loves as good as dead
They lost the competition
With the war inside my head
I know they tried to help me
I know that they were there
Did they ever stop to notice
That I didn't really care
Don't focus on the change they see
Within the tortured face
The girl that they once knew is gone
She left without a trace
I don't miss the angel eyes
The girl they held so dear
Anger filled the empty void
And strength replaced the fear
I know they don't believe it
I know that they don't see
She needed to transform herself
To grow and become me
