Secrets

If I could see myself from another star
Would everything seem alright?
Secrets I've never kept before
And now they're buried deep inside my heart

Why?
When I sit amongst the other stars
I feel like I'm in a nightmare?
In my room all alone?
Surrounded by clones who doesn't even know how to pretend to like me

Can I control the darkness that's killing me with every breath?
You've told me how I can do anything
But the only thing I ever did was to regret

Would they hate me?
Would you hate me?
Why'd you leave me?
How did I even thought I could make it till death alone?

Would they hate me?
Would you hate me?
Why'd you leave me?
How did I even thought I could make it till death alone?

Would you hate me?
Or would you just pretend I don't exist anymore?
If  you knew what I hid inside
So well in the dark
So well concealed
So that no one ever hates me
Like I hate myself for what I am...

If only you knew....
If only you knew.....

How'd I ended up so alone?
Trust,
Betrayal,
It doesn't matter

For no one is there who I'll ever care about
At least I hope so
But the fear doesn't leave me alone

And I only have my shadow for company
Drowning in the ocean of my dark past

But sometimes I find myself thinking
If only you knew who I am
Would you hate me?

But you said you won't come back
So I'm alone in the darkness

And they think they could save me
But they don't know
I've let my secrets kill me
A long time ago
