I pretended I'm glad you went away
These four walls closin' more every day
I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
I'm cryin' inside
And nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can see it so clearly
But you're nowhere around
The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me
I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm tremblin' inside, and nobody knows it but me
Yeah,
I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
And I'm screamin' out loud
As if I thought you'd hear me
My heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me
Yeah my heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me
Yeah yeah
Yeah my heart is callin' you
Nobody knows it
