Behind everything
Behind those tears
Behind those fear
you have
Behind those lies
told yourself and
your friends.
Behind that fake smile
is a girl that
had her heart
broken too many times.
Behind the breaking
hearts was a guy
that stood aside
and was quietly loving you.
Behind those tears,
he wipes them away
so you would not be scare.
Behind those fear
he would try
to scare them away.
Behind everything I was
there with you and
just wanting you
to be with me.
Behind those tears, fears, and your broken heart,
I would quietly
sit there with you.
Behind everything I would
hide my feelings
behind the door that
is locked.
