Fake

Maybe if I had a reason to stay Surrounded by these faces every single day Their voices like a storm in my head Wishing I could be somewhere else instead It's hard to fake a smile, pretend I'm okay When all I wanna do is run away Caught in this web of social ties Hiding my truth behind these eyes But I'll keep on moving, keep on trying Even when inside I'm crying Holding back, playing along With people I don't belong Maybe if I found a place to be Where I could finally feel free No more whispers, no more lies Just the peace of open skies It's hard to fake a smile, pretend I'm okay Surrounded by these faces every single day Their voices like a storm in my head Wishing I could be somewhere else instead It's hard to fake a smile, pretend I'm okay When all I wanna do is run away Caught in this web of social ties Hiding my truth behind these eyes But I'll keep on moving, keep on trying Even when inside I'm crying Holding back, playing along With people I don't belong But I'll keep on moving, keep on trying Even when inside I'm crying Holding back, playing along With people I don't belong Dreaming of a time, dreaming of a space Where I don't have to hide, don't have to fake One day I'll be there, one day I'll be free Till then, I'll just be me But I'll keep on moving, keep on trying Even when inside I'm crying Holding back, playing along With people I don't belong But I'll keep on moving, keep on trying Even when inside I'm crying Holding back, playing along With people I don't belong Maybe one day, I'll find my way Out of this maze, into the light of day Till then, I'll stand my ground In this place where I feel bound
