I lend...

I lend everyone my ear
But nobody my heart
And I sure would like to change that
But I don't know where to start

I smile more to myself
Than the world will ever see
Because the only time my smile is real
Is in my own company

People don't know how I feel
They never even ask
It seems that I've fooled them all
They can't see through my mask

If they were with me late at night
When the world was still asleep
Maybe then I'd let them sort
Through the secrets that I keep

But when I wake at 2 a.m.
Nobody is ever there
And I learnt that's why I hide my heart
Is because no one really cares
