I can only pretend that i am happy for so long
i can only fake my happiness until you realize that its gone
i can only lie to you for a while and tell you that I'm fine
to smile and say that I'm OK when I'm really dying inside
i can only convince you for so long that I'm not feeling pain
convince you that I'm normal when I'm really going insane
i can only persuade you for so long that I'm not dead
that he didn't kill me w/ all the words he said
i can assure you that i really am fine
i just wish you'd realize the truth when you look into my eyes
i just wish that you could see it so i don't have to explain
cuz it hurts to much to tell you that I'm feeling this much pain
i just need someone to save me, to be w/ me so I'm not alone
i just want someone to see the truth, i can only lie for so long
