I cry at 2AM
I lie straight to your face
I fake my smile everyday for you
I tell you mom and dad don't yell anymore
I hide the bruises on my body
I say my life is great
But baby the truth is
I'm not perfect
I'm not happy
I got suicide on my mind
And baby I know you love me
But the clock is ticking
I'm running out of time to be with you
So let me pretend just for a day
That everything's okay
That we'll be together until the very end
Till both of us are old and grey
Cause baby you are everything to me
But I gotta tell you one day
That I'm not okay
I'm not your perfect angel anymore
