I Can

I can say I'm fine
when you turn around
and forget who I am
I can hide the tears that fall
With an ocean of fake smiles

I can say
I was the one that walked away
I can say I don't cry
I can lie to all the ones who will never see
deep into my broken heart

But what I can't do
Is forget you
I can't say
I never cared
because everyone knows the truth

I can hold my pillow close at night
I can tell them all I am better without you
But the truth is
I will never know

I can say that I don't miss you
I can say I'm just fine
I can think we meant nothing

But what I can't do
Is forget you
I can't say
The love I felt was never real
because everyone knows the truth

If I started crying in the middle of the day
No one would know why
Because of what I did say
