Faking It

I've been sad since I was sixteen

Had lots of friends but it was draining

Staying up and getting no sleep

Trying to be someone who's not me

Dated boys who didn't get me

All they like is just what they see

And they all treated me shitty

Broke my heart and left me lonely

But I've been lying to myself to move on

I can't hide it, fighting it for too long

I'm done trying, what am I trying to prove?

To who?

Why do I even try to numb the pain? (Numb the pain)

Faking a smile to run away (Run away)

I'm lying when I say I'm okay

Just want everyone to go away

Why do I even try to hide the pain? (Hide the pain)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I sit here as my life goes by

Can't escape the demons inside

I swear to God I'm not the bad guy

Just ran out of tears to cry

Look in the mirror and I see

Somebody staring back at me

Don't know who I'm trying to be

Can barely recognize who I see

But I've been lying to myself to move on

I can't hide it, fighting it for too long

I'm done trying, what am I trying to prove?

To who?

Why do I even try to numb the pain? (Numb the pain, I'm faking it)

Faking a smile to run away (Run away, I'm faking it)

I'm lying when I say I'm okay (I'm okay)

Just want everyone to go away

Why do I even try to hide the pain? (Hide the pain)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I'm faking it (Ah)

I'm faking it (Ah)
