Living a Lie
by
Sara Rarick
I smile when I want to cry,
laugh when I want to die.
I'm so tired of pretending to be happy all the time,
but it's better than letting people close enough to burn me.
I love everyone but I hate them,
I get along but they do things that hurt me.
But I won't tell them because then they would see me weakened.
In the end it all comes back to the fact,
that I'm living a lie.
I love when I want to hate,
I help and heal when I want to hurt.
I'm sick of living a lie.
Living a lie.
People get to me, they get to me and piss me off,
but I'll never do anything but keep it bottled up inside.
Nobody will ever know, because nobody will ever know my true feelings.
And I'll never do anything but live a lie.
Because I smile when I want to cry, I laugh when I want to die.
