Just Like Tv

you think you know me 
haha, you're funny 

you don't know me 
quit playing make believe 

you don't see my broken heart 
my bleeding heart 

you don't see my lost soul 
my dark dark soul 

you don't see my fading spirit 
my dying spirit 

you don't see my many tears 
my streaming tears 

you don't know i fake my smile 
what a great smile 

you don't know i'm living a lie 
i'm such a lie 

you don't see my wilting flower 
a daisy or a rose 
it doesn't matter 

i'm here for your amusement 
just like tv 

what you see 
is not quite real
