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.
