Some Time To Heal

You swear my life is picture perfect
You say, that I have it made
But, how can you be so certain
That it's not all a masquerade??

You only see, what I choose show you
Not the broken dreams, I hide
Or, the bottled up well of emotions
From the tears I refuse to cry

I tell you everyday, I'm fine
Force a smile, && paint on my face
I know, if I openned up just once
It would all fall out of place

God, how many times I've dreamed
For this all to come to an end
For just a moment, to admit how I feel
Just one day, I wouldn't have to pretend

There's a broken girl afraid to speak
Trapped inside this painful disguise
My broken heart still beats
Despite all the hurt, tears, && lies

&& Just before, you turn to leave me
There's still one thing, I want you to know
Despite the words you said to hurt me
I promise, to continue to grow

I'll be that girl, you saw in me
The one you swore, was real
&& I know, someday, it'll be okay
I just need some time to heal
