The last few weeks have been exhausting,
I just want to see myself smiling again.
Tell me everything will be okay,
Lie to me, I'm living a lie anyway.
Truth is harsh,
Pretending is easy.
But for tonight,
Let's keep on pretending.
I just wanna be the girl they want me to be,
Cause tonight, I can't afford being me.
I just wanna keep a smile on my face,
Because it's easier to fool myself that I'm feeling okay.
Stating up till 3 am,
Telling myself everything is fucking okay.
Isay it doesn't matter,
It does and I know that.
I want to be considered,
Or rather just disappear.
I wanna be out of sight,
Take me somewhere just for tonight.
I just wanna feel myself smiling,
Being myself only hurts more.
I will try harder tomorrow,
But tonight let's just keep on dancing till the music stops.
– Sia.
