I Can't.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Nothing to say, everything is fine.
I can't keep pretending, but I can.
I can't keep lying, it's all in the plan.

Happy, that's what I want you to be.
Sadness away, forever gone.
I can't keep masking, but I must.
I can't keep running, I'll lose your trust.

Don't ask questions, I'll have to lie.
Don't pretend, you can't see it.
I can't keep smiling, but I will.
I can't keep swallowing, it's a bitter pill.

The pill of pain goes down smooth.
I barely notice anymore, it's not new.
I can't keep living, but I may.
I can't just die, because you're finally OK.
