I Can't Do This

I can’t do this
I can’t go on
I can’t pretend that I’m happy
I can’t fake it anymore
I can’t keep up the ruse
I can’t say “I like being alone”
I can’t, not anymore

I’m miserable and I can’t speak the truth

I can do so much
I can fake a smile that doesn’t reach my eyes
I can say I like the single life
I can lie through my teeth
I can hold back my tears
I can evade the questions
I can , honest I can

I’m miserable and I can only suffer

I can’t do this
Even if you think I can
