Broken

You never knew
How broken we were
I was hiding all the cracks
With another coat of paint
Or how thin I was stretched
Trying my hardest to hold us together
When life was pulling us apart
You never knew the nights I cried
How many times I pretended it was fine
To be chosen last
Again
And again
And again
Five years of hiding
Five years of holding
Five years of aching
After five years of trying
I just couldn't anymore
I couldn't spend forever
Last place in someone's world
So I guess I ask forgiveness
For trying so hard
To never let you know
