NOT A PRETTY PICTURE !?X

IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND ?
YOU WOULD BE IN TEARS !
RE-LIVING ALL THOSE PAINFUL MEMORIES
THAT I,VE ACQUIRED OVER THE YEARS!
ALL MY ANGUISH & ALL MY FEARS
SEE HOW MANY TIMES 
I,VE CRIED RIVER & LAKES OF TEARS
YOU WILL SEE ME CRY!
THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHY ?
ALL THE LONELINESS I,VE FELT!
THE BAD HAND I,VE BEEN DEALT!
FEEL FOR YOURSELF , THE PAIN I,VE FELT
KNOW OF MY HEART ACHE
SAW MY SPIRIT & PRIDE BREAK!
HOW VERY LOW, I,VE HAD TO GO
HOW HARD I TRIED TO HOLD ON TO MYSELF 
FOR ALL OF MY SAKE !
SAW ME DOWN ON MY KNEES
ALWAYS TRYING, BUT UNABLE TO PLEASE?
MY HEART & SOUL. YOU,LL SEE SO SQUEEZED
THE VERY LIFE. OUT OF ME 
IT,S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE
FOR ANY-ONE TO SEE !
IF YOU COULD SEE INSIDE OF ME ?
STILL TRYING TO HANG ONTO MY DIGNITY
BUT. I KNOW I,VE GOT GOOD RUNNING THROUGH ME 
FROM WHAT EVER WAS MY HISTORY?
BUT. YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH NEW EYES
KNOW THE TRUTH & NOT THE LIES !
LET ALL THE BAD GO & FINALLY BE FREE!
TAKE IT ALL AWAY FROM ME 
COS ..IT,S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE TO SEE!!
