No Different

NO DIFFERENT

I beg you of you

Again and again

As I fall to my knees

In vain

bearing all my hardship

Just for you

To only feel insecure

As I look through you

I see the real you

You have an unpleasant side

Just like me

Protruding to the outside

While I am looking in

Making everything real

Putting up no fights

But feeling like this will never end

It was all for you

A taste of what I could never have

Coming from you

But all those times I tried

My intentions were honorable

I know I wasted a lot of time

And all the tears I cried

It feels wasted

Used up kept inside

The pain felt all over

Stuffed down

And it comes back again

As I lie awake in bed alone

Begging again to mend

Just to feel tomorrow will be ok

Still standing on the outside

Looking in

Looking right through you

Only to see you are no different

No different from me
