"PRETENTIOUS"

I know how to fake a smile
I could even force a laugh
I could believe you I'm happy
I could believe you I'm fine

Everyday I face the truth
But I always mask it with lies
I pretend to be alright
Even if nothing is ever right

I try hard to conquer
This fear I feel inside
But I'm swimming in fright
In dangerous waters, I dive

I cry, laugh and smile
Most of the time I pretend
Pretend to be lifted
Pretend to be appreciated

I am the actress, the drama queen
I am the con of every positive side
I oppose the truth, embrace the fallacy
Oh dear, I bathe in falsity

Smile is my best armament
Though pretending is a torment
There is no one to blame
My life is a shame
