Pretend

I paint a picture of myself, on the outside I try to make the whole thing fit, by numbers Programs preoccupy my mind, scripted motions Am I who you want me to be? A thousand faces everywhere Yet nobody else seems to care The truth is hidden deep within Will you listen? We're just humans with emotions Trynna find some stable ground We pretend we have the answers But no ones got it figured out Who are we pretending for? Why do you lie as your tears, hit the floor? I see my life just like a book not a cover story Read every page to understand I think of characters I've seen on movie screens and I Wonder would you love me if I was there? A million little strings untied Quietly connect our lives The truth is hidden in plain sight Will you open up your eyes? We're just humans with emotions Trynna find some stable ground We pretend we have the answers But no ones got it figured out Who are we pretending for? Why do you lie as your tears, hit the floor? So I bare my soul to you Though you'll never see me like I do and I want to live through your eyes It takes time and space to realize There's another universe in your mind We're just humans With emotions Trynna find some stable ground We pretend we have the answers But no ones got it figured out Who are we pretending for? Why do you lie as your tears, hit the floor?
