I'm Losing This Game

I'm losing this game
This game they call life
Always into something
Getting into strife

No, I'm not ready
Not ready for the world
Not ready for them to see
What's behind the curl

I'm not all sunshine and smiles
Not perfect in any way
Not really all that great
But I try to be happy everyday

It kills me inside to watch others
Being so happy for real
When you see the smile
Happiness is not what I feel

It hurts each day I smile
The pain is on the inside
It hurts when I pretend
It kills my frown to hide

On the outside I'm happy
But on the inside it's not the same
I hate having to pretend each day
I'm losing this dumb game
