Been Here Before (by Homespun Reality) Hey wait, I recognize you...I've seen you here before
And with that simple thought more is revealed of me than of you
Because I don't know your story, but I know why I keep coming back
And it's the terrors inside my head that drive me here when I have nowhere else to go

But I won't expose you because I'd hate to expose myself
And all of that's because I'll be vulnerable and this life's about saving face.
Don't worry about how you really feel inside
Because all that matters is the plastic smile plastered on your face

Here we go one more time saving face and saying that we're fine
Why can't people just accept us for not being okay?
Not every day does the sun shines brightest and forces the rain clouds away
But it's not like that matters much 'cause I'm still here saving face

I won't tell you precisely what I've done to bring me here again and it's because I'm afraid
Perhaps it's my pride covering up my sackcloth attire underneath it all
All in all, I will leave this as a cliff hanger glimpse into the real me
Because I know otherwise I'd be judged seen differently in the end

So now we'll keep this secret that we both recognize each other here
For I know sometimes the pressure is too much and the shadow's call during lonely nights
And I lack the strength to right now to turn and flee so I accept my choices
And I leave this unanswered, put on my plastic smile and continue saving face
