Transcript

You like being happy. But you think about sad things all the time. You don't really like yourself. But you love the person you've become. You say you don't care. But you just care too much. You crave attention. Yet you reject everything that comes your way. You heal people. But you broke your own heart trying to fix them. You love to listen. But you'll never tell them what's inside.
