Haunting Me

False smiles and fake laughs,
You can't see what I don't want you to see,
But you know it's there,
Haunting me.

I struggle for air, gasp for breath,
But still no release,
Can nothing cut these ties that are binding me,
Choking me?

False smiles and fake laughs,
You can't see what I don't want you to see,
But you know it's there,
Haunting me.

Your approval I'm after,
So why can't you see,
All I want is for you to love me,
For you to want me?

False smiles and fake laughs,
You can't see what I don't want you to see,
But you know it's there,
Haunting me.

Now the only question I have left in me,
The one I need you to hear,
And the one I fear,
Was my love really ever enough?

No more false smiles.
No more fake laughs.
I want you to see what you haven't seen,
I want you to see what's haunting me.
