I Can't Say...

I can’t say I’ve never felt lonely
Even my shadow leaves me in the dark
And I can’t say I’ve never been sad
As even now I feel anchors on my heart

Life has always teased me with Happiness on a string
Leading me down misty paths to Depression
And, lately, Death has been around every corner
And the hurt worsens with every succession

I can’t say I’ve never hated someone
Even that guy in the mirror annoys me
And I can’t say I’ve never loved someone
Though I couldn’t tell you now where they all could be

But you can all see me every single day
Just like the news reporter, every single night
So I smile and pinch my finger; get on with the show
And I act well, ‘cause you all hardly know

I can’t say that this helps me
But I have reached my wit’s end
‘Cause I can’t say that I’m alright
And neither can you, my friend
