Fake It
How many fake smiles
Have you put on before?
When inside your beating heart
Is broken and torn.
How many tears
Has your pillow held at night?
When you lay there, broken,
Hidden from everyone's sight.
How many attempts
At your life have you taken?
They don't see that you're broken,
Not only bruised but emotionally beaten.
Pain is inevitable,
These feelings you hold.
But you'll tell them you're fine
'Cause that's what you've been told.
