Looking at the reflections of myself
Without a mirror, I see someone else
You're laughing at me 'cause you don't see my soul
You think the smile I wear says, I'm happy but you don't really know

Everyday's a fight
Soon I'll have no tears left here to cry
Jump to the words I speak
When will somebody hear me?

I'm talking, I'm pleading, I need you to understand me
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, it's so hard
(Can't you hear me?)

Hear my lonely cry
(I need someone to love me)
Hear my lonely cry
Why can't you hear me?

I'm catching tear drops when I hear the phone ring
I wanna say so bad what's really wrong, what's hurting me?
I'm latching out, I'm breaking down feels like my life's crashed
In around me when I hear in the words I speak, can you help me?

Everyday's a fight
Soon I'll have no tears left here to cry
Jump to the words I speak
When will somebody hear me?
(Can you hear me?)

I'm talking, I'm pleading, I need you to understand me
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, it's so hard
(Can't you hear me?)

Hear my lonely cry
(I need someone to love me)
Hear my lonely cry
Why can't you hear me?

Sometimes I wish, I could sleep forever
'Cause when I sleep my life is so much better
So busy trying to please, be what you want me to be
I dream when someone is gonna take care of me

I'm talking, I'm pleading, I need you to understand me
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs it's so hard
(Can't you hear me?)

(I need someone to love me)
Why can't you hear me?

Tell me it's gonna be alright
Oh, hear my cries, oh, please
