Pretend
When you said you believed me
I laughed
I laughed how you easily believed
In the things I pretend
How you never knew the things I hid
Behind the smile I wore
You believed in the way I always seemed to be happy
You believed how my silence was a mere silence and not words I always wanted to speak
You believed in those silly smilies I sent you the time my tears didn’t know how to stop
You believed when I said the reason behind this scar is a door or my bed
You believed when I said my head was aching
You always believed me and that is where the problem lies
You see how easily you believed the things I pretend to be
And even after knowing me so well
You don’t really know who I really am
Behind everything I pretend
Behind everything I wish you never believed
