I really couldn’t say
\nWhat happened to me
\nWhere this person I’ve become
\nSpawned from
\nBut I know something’s not right
\nMost days I get by
\nI can smile and laugh
\nConvince them it’s alright
\nWhen deep down inside me
\nI’m struggling just to breathe<\/p>\n
I’m a mess, but I’ll try
\nTo keep my chin up
\nAnd hide it all from you
\nBecause I know how much
\nIt hurt you to see me that way
\nSo I’ll put on an act
\nI’ll keep smiling
\nSo you feel at ease
\nIt wasn’t always this way
\nThe truth is
\nI used to be fine<\/p>\n
I wish I could just be me
\nWish I could just scream it all out
\nTell you how much it kills me
\nTo see you behaving this way
\nAnd yet I’m expected to be okay
\nIt isn’t fair<\/p>\n
It’s a mess, but I’ll try
\nTo keep my thoughts to myself
\nAnd pretend nothing you say
\nReally troubles me
\nIt hurts to see you this way
\nBut I’ll put on a brave face
\nI’ll keep smiling
\nSo you feel at ease
\nIt wasn’t always this way
\nThe truth is
\nWe used to be fine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
