I Can'T Pretend...

Everyday I find myself asking "Why?" I look around and everything is the same My life is such a shame. I can't pretend I'm alright I'm sorry I can't be perfect I could scream and pull my hair But I try not to think about the pain inside All I want is for you to be proud But I'm never going to be good enough I wake eachday, Just to see the sky turn gray The harder I try, the harder I cry I can't push past the tears Now, it's too late, I can't go back Nothing is going to be alright I'm tired of people who only have harsh words to say You can't change me Sometimes I'm tired of living It seems like it would be easier if I were dead I cant pretend everything is alright But please dont turn your back I'm sorry I can't be perfect.
