• “Every night

  You wrote another line

  With a bloody, broken, bottle

  And every day

  You wish it away

  Why don’t you pull the pin

  On that grenade

  You coddle”

  Johnette Napolitano – Suicide Note

  “Every day

  You used to pray

  Listen to the black raven sing

  You wanted to believe

  As you were falling to your knees

  Struggling to stand

  With your life in your hand

  The sad last stand

  Of a broken man”

  from the same song above

  “You did the right thing covered your scars

  Challenged your faith

  and closed your eyes driving cars

  For all that they knew you were safe home

  But you went through hell

  whenever you were left alone”

  Maria Mena – Internal Dialogue

  “Memories consume

  Like opening the wound

  I’m picking me apart again

  You all assume

  I’m safe here in my room

  Unless I try to start again”

  Linkin Park – Breaking the Habit

  “Clutching my cure

  I tightly lock the door

  I try to catch my breath again

  I hurt much more

  Than anytime before

  I had no options left again”

  from the same song above

• so you had a bad day by daniel powter…it has nothing to do with pretending to be happy, just it’s kind of uplifting but i’m not really sure if that’s what you’re looking for

• – believe in me- demi lovato

  “The mirror can lie

  Doesn’t show you what’s inside

  And it, it can tell you your full of life

  It’s amazing what you can hide

  Just by putting on a smile”

  – “tied together with a smile”- taylor swift

  “you cry, but you don’t tell anyone

  That you might not be the golden one

  And you’re tied together with a smile

  But you’re coming undone”

  a quote about this topic that i like is:

  “Sick of crying, tired of trying, yeah, I’m smiling, but deep inside, I’m dying”

  good luck.

  Source(s): i’m going through the same thing.
