If you think....

If you think you are the only one hurting
you need to look around, my love.
You tell me the world has become too cruel,
and that is your excuse for giving up.

If you think I don't see pain
written on every friend's face I see
If you think we don't all feel the same
we just try harder not to complain.

The images are engraved on our hearts
we each of us, forever changed
If you think it doesn't tear us apart,
it does, and we grieve the knowledge
that we'll never be the same.

If you think I don't find it hard to try
you really can't know me then.
If you think I couldn't just lay down and die
you really better think again.
