The thing is

The thing is I can look you in the eyes
and tell you everything is okay.
The thing is I can look you in the eyes
and tell you nothing is wrong.
The thing is I can look you in the eyes
and tell you were going to make it.
The thing is I can look you in the eyes
and tell you its alright.
The thing is I tell you all this
just to know you will be okay.
I keep all this pain inside,
just so you don't know I lie.
I keep this inside because of my pride.
I have been kicked and beaten while I am down.
The thing is I get back up.
I do it, and I don't care what happens to me.
As long as your safe and free.
This is how its meant to be.
You and me.
