Pretend...

  I smile
Everyday I throw on a fake smile
They can't see through it...
I pretend to be happy

I cry
Everyday alone I cry
Nobody is there to help me...
Sometimes it hurts to pretend..

I laugh
To cover up my pain I laugh
I faked it to protect myself from them...
I pretend to laugh

I'm okay
I say it all the time
But I faked it to protect them from me...
I pretend to be okay

I'm breaking
You can tell
You can tell how hard I'm masking it...
Pretending for so long is hard


I'm alone
I can't pretend anymore
Everyone's gone...
So I pretend... I'm alive...
again
