Pretending
Pretending Im fine
faking the smiles
forcing the laughs
its all i have left
im far from happy
far from being stable
im unsure how long
iLL be able to keep this up
pretending everythings fine
when nothing seems right
everythings all messed up
nothing seems to matter anymore
all the hugs are meaningless
you look at me but never really see
never truly looking into my eyes
never grasping the fact
that i am dieing inside
but i keep pretending
the love i receive
is all true
im denying the truth
stuck in the lies and deceit
my heart is in two
and theres nothing you can do
to patch the hole in my chest
too many times ive cried
believing all the lies
always wishing i would die
but i keep pretending
never showing
all the pain im feeling
my smile stays painted on
but how long can i go on
pretending...
