I'm Fake!

I wake up in the morning
And put on my mask
I see myself in the mirror
And all I see is my smile

I walk out the front door
Like the happiest girl would
Smiling and giggling all the way through

They never can see my frown
They only see my smile
They can't tell it's fake
Cause all along that's been my face

I make everyone laugh
With all my stupid jokes
And say senseless things
Just to get along

When they see me quiet
It's a big deal
Cause I'm the girl that never stays still
When they ask me what's wrong
I tell them I'm fine
I was just sleepy or reminiscing about old times

They buy my lie
At the perfect price
So I just stand up and crack another joke
Everyone cracks up even me
And in that moment I'm in peace

I get home and take off my mask
I see myself in the mirror
And all I see is my frown

I break down and cry
And I grab the knife
But I never take the strike
Cause after all I don't have the guts
To take my own live
