You don't know how it feels

to belong nowhere.

I fake a smile, nod my head

but my mind's not there.

I'm looking through you

always thinking of

who I would rather be

to get all that love.

That girl who smiles

and lives effortlessly,

no one knows that

she's all I want to be.

I look around

at some of these faces

and they're unaware of

how I want to trade places.

To have those nice clothes

and endless money,

surrounded by cute friends,

and boys who want me.

To say it out loud, I would

sound shallow and stupid

because "money can't buy

happiness" I know it's useless.

No one knows the real person inside.

I'm scared of the truth so

I choose to hide.

It's not like you care,

I know that's clear;

you probably won't notice

if I disappear.
