how do you know the stories
how do you know
what you are supposed to do
when everytime you do something
something else falls through
how do you know
what you are supposed to say
when everytime you talk
someone else gets in your way
your days are full
your nights are humble
your dreams are all the same
barely do you ever dare to mumble
nothing feels right
nothing feels good
you feel like you need to escape
but do not know if you should
you feel so alone
trapped inside a world of pain
the days drag on
but still you have no name
you bury your emotions
hide them from the rest
you do it so well
some would say you're the best
you walk down a long street
filled with darkness and shame
people watch you there
but no one knows your name
it is a secret held within you
one so dear you cannot say
a secret only you would know
to bring all to dismay
if only you could tell the world
what you really feel
then maybe they would call out to you
and they would help you to heal
but lest you walk along this path
waiting for the right time
that someone will walk up to you
and clean you of your grime
they never tell you all the stories
how love can be so cruel
it's not an easy lesson learnt
nor one they teach in school
they never tell you all the stories
how love can be so unkind
the love you let slip away
the love you never find
they never tell you all the stories
how love can be so unfair
others take all the love
while you never get your share
they never tell you all the stories
how love can be so untrue
is her love for someone else
or reserved, and just for you
they never tell you all the stories
how love can be so unwise
love can leave you so confused
between all the truth and lies
but now i've told you all the stories
and every one of them is true
but please do not give up on love
else love might just give up on you
