What I've Become

I know it makes you wonder
how i can act alright
but you'll never know of
the tears I'll hide from you tonight

you will never know
how i truly feel
you walk around in ignorance
never knowing what is real

i have learned to hate
what i used to be
when i look in the mirror
i don't know that person i see

how much longer will this go on
not sure how much more i can take
i bow to the will of the world
i am nothing but a fake

but you go on blind to it all
as my hopes shatter
and my dreams fall

i no longer
live for me
i do as others expect
i give what they need to see

where did i go
and what have i become
please give me the answer
of how to overcome

this horrible thing I'm playing called life
is nothing but a game
you're always asking whats wrong
and I'm sorry to say it, but your to blame
