Stop Pretending

Why do they never listen
Stop pretending to care!
I know they will never understand
But pretending to isn't fair!

Pretending to understand me
Pretending they are trying to help
Well I've seen it all before and it can't be
Cos pretending will get you nowhere!

I chose to hide the pain inside
And shouting at me makes no difference
That won't make me commit suicide
But them pretending to care will
