I can endure any kind of pain,
whatever it is, i'm used to it anyway.
I can cry, with my lips plastered with a happy smile.

Do I deserve a trophy?
For being the most-pretend awardee?

I can look back, stare at you
and pretend my system's at peace
One wrong, violent move
feels like any moment, I'll break my knees
I claim you're my strength
yet you make me feel weak

The coldness and the emptiness,
in your eyes I can feel it
No signs of bliss, nor undeciphered hints,
I'm missing your name, and the sound of your voice,
those sinful lips, and lighthearted demeanor

I miss everything, I really do
but I pretend that I don't..

You came at peace, you left me wrecked
How was I too dumb not to notice?
that even a calm sea, can cause a ship to wreck
But then again,
I felt pain, I endured
I pretend, I didn't care..

And all those scars, I know they'll heal,
but they'll always be there..
