I'm a Fake


I listen to every word you say.
I nod my head, murmur, and agree.
I smile when you start to laugh, you catch my eye and I shudder.
Your supposed to be my besty, the one I always come to.
We are supposed to be BFFFs, everyone agrees.
They whisper two peas in a pod; then they nod.
But the truth is that's a lie.
And the sad thing is you don't even know.
To you what they say IS true.
I'm an expert at deciving; I don't know how I got this way.
When I look into a mirrior, I have got to turn away.
I really don't mean too, I just can't stop.
I guess I've dug a grave that's never gonna stop.
I smile cuz I'm supposed to, that's what a good friend does.
I guess all that i hope for is to have someone finally say," You're done."
