Wishes

my wishes were to no avail

Hi, hello

I plastered on a smile

Then I'm good to go

Hello, goodbye

My day is done

A day full of lies

That I am okay

That I'm doing fine

Cause I really want to stay

To have no one to leave behind

I wished upon

A dying dandelion

That you'd see right through

The masks I wear

But none of you

Ever seemed to care

I wished upon

A burning meteorite

That you would see the cries

I hid beneath the smiles

that never reached my eyes

I wished upon

A dirty old coin

Tossed inside 

A dried up wishing well

That you'd listen closely

To the truths

I'd never tell

I wished every minute

Every second of every single day

But all words I ever said

Fell on deaf ears

And the company I have left

Now are lonely salty tears
