It's Just An Act
I'm trying so hard to disguise
All of my selfish and petty lies
Acting like I'm smarter than I am
But my whole demeanor is a sham
I'm putting on a smile, pretending I'm okay
But you don't know the words that I don't say
And it's getting so much harder every day
Masking the emotions I don't want to convey
I feel like I'm always going to be on my own
And honestly I'm scared of being so alone
But I don't think anyone's ever known
'Cause the truth is something I postpone
How much longer can I pretend
That I'm thinking this might be the end
'Cause I'm not someone you can mend
No matter how much you try to tend
I'm trying so hard to let all this go
But I'm scared my secrets will show
So I'll keep up this act and hide
Keeping all my feelings inside
