I Pretend


Yeah, I pretend that I'm okay

The smile on my lips is forced

Everyone thinks I'm happy 

They always want more from me

It will never enough for them 

I feel like a toy that they control

It was never enough for them 

I made myself a fool

All they could think is that

I'm not worthy, I'm hopeless, I'm useless

I fear it will never stop...

It will never end...

It will stay the same.
