Dreamed In Color

It's My Fault

I'm broken but, I can't be fixed
And I refuse to let you try
You'll only sew up hopeless dreams
With threads from every lie

I'm shattered but, you cannot see
And I'm sorry to say it's true
I have to find my strength myself
There's nothing you can do

I'm tired but, I raise a smile
To keep you from despair
From ever knowing my inner depths
And flinching at what's there

I'm hurting but, no one can tell
You only take the time to see
You take the time to find the wall
But not break it and find me

I'm crying but, my tears are dry
Empty, hollow, alone
I know that I must help myself
But I can't make it on my own

I'm falling but, I'm on the edge
Concreted in this place
Bound by tears from lonely eyes
That scar this shadowed face

And I'm sorry but, what should I do
When I look in the mirror each day
And staring back, confirms the truth
It's my fault that I'm this way
