They speak your name-
But they don't know me.
They know of your life-
But they were never there.
They toast to honor you-
But they don't know what I've done.
They see your face-
But they don't see my soul.
They shake your hand-
But they don't give me an embrace.
They talk to your face-
But they don't tell me the truth.
They look you in the eye-
But they see right through.
They encourage you to go far-
But they don't help me at all.
They watch you fight-
But they don't see my struggle.
They believe in your power-
But they don't believe in my heart.
They watch your victory-
But they don't see my pain.
They cry as you fall-
But they see me as just another loss.
They tell you goodbye-
But they don't look back.
