We are all a little weird and life is a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

You don’t understand
You don’t know how the story goes
You think you know me
You don’t know why I do what I do
You don’t know the truth
You see the outside
And but glimpse what I hide
You can’t see

The battles I fight every day of my life
The monsters inside that I try so hard to hide
My weakness have grown too strong
I seem to be building wall after wall
I don’t know how long I will last
This day might be my last
You don’t know what you don’t know
You can’t see the monsters inside of me

Everyone see your cover and then when you slip up and someone sees you struggle with something they point and judge. The thing is they don't know what you go through on a daily basis. In the end God is the only one who understands the monsters inside me.
