A Fragile Lie

[Verse 1] Behind this perfect smile, there's a heart that's breaking Beneath the surface, something's not quite right I've got it all, but the cracks are showing through This happiness I'm faking, just doesn't feel true [Pre-Chorus] The world expects me to be strong, to have it all figured out But the truth is, I'm barely holding on, I'm drowning in self-doubt [Chorus] 'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find Turns out to be a fragile lie All the pieces don't quite fit This life I'm living isn't it [Verse 2] I thought I had it all mapped out, this picture-perfect plan But now I'm lost inside these walls, I can barely understand I put on a brave face day by day, but inside I'm falling apart This happiness I'm chasing, it's tearing me apart [Pre-Chorus] The world expects me to have it made, to always have the answers But the truth is, I'm so afraid, I'm running out of chances [Chorus] 'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find Turns out to be a fragile lie All the pieces don't quite fit This life I'm living isn't it [Bridge] Is this the price I have to pay? To keep up with what others say? I'm tired of wearing this disguise When all I want is to be alive [Chorus] 'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find Turns out to be a fragile lie All the pieces don't quite fit This life I'm living isn't it [Outro] This life I'm living isn't it No, this life I'm living isn't it
