My heart has broken
It lays on the floor
What (do you say) happened
To make the sweet tears pour?
I'm not really sure how it all came about
It's been a part of my life for so long
This empty hole in my soul, in my heart
Started because I didn't belong
People can be so taunting
Why did they always stare?
I always felt it, the tension was so daunting
It came to the point where I didn't care
For the longest time the past haunted me
I evaluated each smile and laugh, the past screamed in my head
Even though I am finally free
Sometimes I still wake in a cold sweat
Nobody will understand the horrors I've been through
But it doesn't matter, because I know I am strong
Every sweet smile a breakthrough
Every voice raised in greeting a song
Every hug that I get destroys me
As the love begins to sink in
These walls are crumbling down, finally
I'm free let my journey begin
So stop asking me why I smile
Don't get mad at my optimistic views
For its the only thing that kept me alive when I felt suicidal
It's the only thing that led me to you
