Living a Lie
I wake up every day and put on a fake smile
Put on a fake smile so everyone thinks I'm happy
When I'm truly dying on the inside
I wake up every day, and cover my dark eyes with makeup
So no one can see that I cried all night and eventually cried myself to sleep.
But they won't see, which means they won't ask
Which means I won't have to explain the painful details.
I walk with my head up, so everyone thinks I'm o.k.
But really I'm not
I'm too scared to let my guard down and let everyone know how I'm feeling
I'm scared that some people will use it against me.
But I do wish I could tell people really whats going on
But I just can't
It's just not possible unfortunatly
So I wake up everyday and live my life as a total lie.
