I act like I'm doing just fine,
But the truth is I'm dying inside.
I put on a smile when we're out with friends,
Hiding the pain that just never ends.

I pretend to be happy without you,
Telling myself this is what I should do.
But deep down, I know it's all just a lie,
'Cause I can't stop the tears from falling from my eyes.

I laugh at your jokes, even when they're not funny,
Trying to convince myself this isn't so lonely.
I nod and agree when they say I'm doing great,
Wishing I could just change my fate.

I pretend to be happy without you,
Telling myself this is what I should do.
But deep down, I know it's all just a lie,
'Cause I can't stop the tears from falling from my eyes.

I wish I could be honest,
Let them see the real me.
But I'm too afraid to admit
That I'm broken and I can't be free.

I pretend to be happy without you,
Telling myself this is what I should do.
But deep down, I know it's all just a lie,
'Cause I can't stop the tears from falling from my eyes.
