Lying to Everyone

I\'m lying to the world
because they don\'t really see
the person I am inside
and who is really me

I\'m lying to myself as well
keeping all the hurt inside
one lie after another
never letting it show I\'ve cried

I don\'t want to be so dishonest
but people couldn\'t understand
and when they knew the truth
they wouldn\'t be able to reach out hand

my life isn\'t all that good
they just can\'t see how hard it is
that\'s probably some my fault
because to tell them I could

it\'s not that easy though
to say everything that\'s locked inside
that scares you to think about
when all you know how to do is hide

I\'m not good at letting out the truth
but at faking a laugh or smile
it\'s so much easier than looking sad
and it\'s more believable by a mile

I can\'t let every tear escape
even though that\'s what I\'m dying to do
I just keep doing my fake smiles
as I\'m hurting inside too
