Pretend

Do you understand me

Can you see what's deep inside

All the problems that I face

All the demons that reside

Do you think you know me

Just by looking at my face

Can you feel the hatred

Can you feel my pain

I'm sick of living everyday a lie

It's getting harder and harder just to get by

I'm sick of living life as what I am

Let me be somebody else

Or at least let me pretend

I'm fighting for myself

I'm fighting for my family

I'm fighting for my friends

But they don't understand me

Yeah you think you know everything

But you don't have a clue

The demons that surround me

I'm fighting them for you

I'm sick of living everyday a lie

It's getting harder and harder just to get by

I'm sick of living life as what I am

Let me be somebody else

Or at least let me pretend

I'm sick of living everyday a lie

It's getting harder and harder just to get by

I'm sick of living life as what I am

Let me be somebody else

Or at least let me pretend

I want to be someone you can lean on

I want to be your wall

I want to be the one you come to

When you start to fall

But I can't hold myself up

My bones are crumbling

With every step that I take

I feel I'm stumbling

I'm sick of living everyday a lie

It's getting harder and harder just to get by

I'm sick of living life as what I am

Let me be somebody else

Or at least let me pretend I'm someone
