Pretending
I can feel it, crawling beneath my skin
Anger, hatred and pain
The sadness that fills my heart, drowns me
And yet, I go on
Pretending to be happy
Pretending to be something I’m not
Why must I feel this way?
Why can’t I be what I want?
There is so much about me that they don’t know
That they will never know
Because I’ll keep on,
Pretending to be happy
Pretending to be something I’m not.
Anger, hatred and pain
The sadness that fills my heart, drowns me
And yet, I go on
Pretending to be happy
Pretending to be something I’m not
Why must I feel this way?
Why can’t I be what I want?
There is so much about me that they don’t know
That they will never know
Because I’ll keep on,
Pretending to be happy
Pretending to be something I’m not.
