What my best friend doesn't know

She's walking down the street
Those stylish shoes pinch her feet

The day has been real long
She won't admit that something's wrong

She drops her new bag on the floor
As she walks through the front door
Only to be greeted with even more pain

Happiness is something she can't gain
She walks up those creaky stairs
Her parents don't even care

That she walks right by without word
The tears make her vision blurred
She throws her self onto her bed

She can't help but wish she was dead
But what she doesn't know As she lays there feeling low
Is that every time I see her smile

The days become worth while When she and I hang out
I lose every single doubt In why I'm here in this place
I'm here to put a smile on her face Every time she hurts herself in vain

I too go through great pain I can't make it right again
I can't ask to stop the rain Watching her struggle with the sorrow
Make for an even darker tomorrow

On my very own horizon And she goes with out realizing
The kind of pain she puts herself through Gives me real sorrow too

When she comes to me in the hall I see her cuts and spirits fall
But I smile and pretend I'm not mad
She's getting help and I am glad But deep down something's yelling

Screaming out what I'm not telling Keeping me awake at night
As I pray with all my might Hoping that happiness is coming

But doubt keeps my heart a drumming I want to yell out in pain
But from that what would I gain? I'm stuck here on the sidelines
Pretending everything is fine For both her sake and mine
