Stop Pretending

by ♥-Sharon Ardern-♥   Feb 19, 2005


I was trapped behind a mask
So used to hiding my pain
I kept my feelings locked
Under a thousand miles of chain

But today, today I decided
That I will stop pretending
Cos I'm thinking that's the only way
I can get a happy ending

I need to get to know
The person I hid inside
The one that cries
The one who nearly died

The one I tried to burn away
The one I tried to cut to pieces
And now I see she's someone
That only truth releases

I ran and ran from my hell
Believing it would fade
But the more I tried to make it go
The longer it stayed

So I sit, staring at myself
Eyes locked on me, no more pretending
Cos running with a mask
Won't get me a happy ending.
