Facade

When I look in the mirror
And all my pictures
I look so happy
My smile's so pretty

But when I stare at my eyes
I see nothing inside
Tears start flowing
And I don't know why

In front of others
I look so happy
I seem so confident
Like I'm so perfect

But when I'm all alone
And the facade is all gone
I feel nothing
But I keep crying

I wanna drop the facade
And just be myself
But how can I, when I don't
Even know myself anymore

Got my life planned out
My dreams at sight
But my life is a mess
And I feel so lost like I'm in a maze

I'm tired of caring too much
I wanna stop being so emotional
I wish I didn't care and was selfish
God I wish could just turn my emotions off

I wanna stop believing
Every single word
I wanna stop expecting
Just to end up disappointed

I don't even know how I really feel
It's like the facade became real
I feel so numb but I keep crying
It's like I'm dying on the inside

No one will ever understand
Because they're not me
I wish I'd find someone
Who wouldn't judge nor criticize

I'm tired of mixing lies with truths
I'm tired of pretending to be fine
I'm tired of people telling me what to do
I'm tired of people judging me

I'm tired of pleasing everyone
I'm tired of being criticized
I'm tired of everything
I'm so tired of this facade
