I’m tired pretending…
I feel forever I’ve conspired
To be a person that I’m not,
And be what others have required.

I always act like I'm just fine,
But deep inside I want to die.
I smile and show a happy face
But alone I sit and cry.

We talk about the old days
When love was new within our hearts.
We never mention how or why
We've grown so far apart.

Our future's buried in the past, but…
The past still haunts my present.
I'm tired of trying to forget
The hurtful days all spent.

This is not to say my love is dead,
For I love you more than ever.
It's just the haunting memories
Have destroyed what we had together.

The world sees a happy face
With a smile and eyes that glow.
But melancholia grips my heart
And I exist within it's shadow.

I'm tired of always feeling sad,
Was it your fault, was it mine?
I need to put it all to rest
Before I run out of time.
