Pretending
I am so tired of pretending
Pretending like im happy
Like everything is okay
Telling myself that tomorrow will be a better day
But tomorrow never comes
My feet are standing still but I feel like im on the run
Trying to find my life
The life im suppose to have
Filled with love and happiness
My eternity is free
But instead im still standing here
Trying to find me
I wanna be free
Somebody help me
Waiting and waiting
Take these shackles off my feet
I asked myself if I was living or simply existing
Deep down inside I know something is missing
Something I can't seem to find
It feels like the walls are closing in
I'm running out of time
I keep searching
day after day
Yet im still here smiling
Pretending everything is okay
