Tired of Being Fake
People think they know me
But the outside is all they see
I have become a shell of myself
An image of the perfect friend
The perfect daughter
The perfect everything
But all I am is fake
I can't keep living like this
Like a doll of everyone's
I try to tell them the truth
But fear of what they'll say
Gets in the way!!
I'm so tired of turning away
Not saying what I want to say
I'm not living the way I want
The way I need
To be the person I really am
Is all I dream
No one seems to see the pain
Hidden so cleverly in these eyes
I have told so many lies
That the truth is barely more than a blur
Even to me
I can barely see
Who I really am
The person I dream of being
I'm so tired of wearing something I hate
Not being comfortable in my own skin
The way people look ar me
To see if I will cave in
It gets so old
I'm tired of being a fake!!!
So what if you don't like it
This is who I really am
Not all rainbows and sunshine
But horror and blood
I'm so tired of being a fake
I'm not gonna be a fake
Not anymore
That's not the life for me
