I really couldn’t say
What happened to me
Where this person I’ve become
Spawned from
But I know something’s not right
Most days I get by
I can smile and laugh
Convince them it’s alright
When deep down inside me
I’m struggling just to breathe

I’m a mess, but I’ll try
To keep my chin up
And hide it all from you
Because I know how much
It hurt you to see me that way
So I’ll put on an act
I’ll keep smiling
So you feel at ease
It wasn’t always this way
The truth is
I used to be fine

I wish I could just be me
Wish I could just scream it all out
Tell you how much it kills me
To see you behaving this way
And yet I’m expected to be okay
It isn’t fair

It’s a mess, but I’ll try
To keep my thoughts to myself
And pretend nothing you say
Really troubles me
It hurts to see you this way
But I’ll put on a brave face
I’ll keep smiling
So you feel at ease
It wasn’t always this way
The truth is
We used to be fine
