Behind everything

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.
