Lies I Tell Myself

I tell myself i don\'t need anyone
I can figure it all out on my own.
I\'ll push you away when i need you the most,
And cover up the facts that need to be known.

I tell myself i can lock up my heart,
and keep my emotions sealed in a bottle,
When all i really want is someone to listen,
or slow me down when i\'m moving full throttle.

I tell myself i can put on a facade
and do what i can to hide the reality.
No one will know what\'s really going on,
At least for the naive eye that can never see.

I tell myself things don\'t bother me,
I\'ll be just fine without.
I can be stronger than i want,
to the outside that never seem to doubt.

These are the lies i tell myself to put on a show,
so i won\'t seem any less.
Lies that cover the face behind the mask,
and slightly losen the neverending stress.
