Pretending

I'm tired of pretending I'm okay It's okay to not be okay sometimes Can't you see I'm barely breathing Can't you see inside I'm screaming You're my weakness I can't explain I try to measure up but I feel the pain You're breathing down my neck now Wishing I could figure out somehow To make this all go away Don't have to listen to a word you say It takes the dark to see the stars Go and lose yourself and find out who you are Who you really are I'm tired of pretending I'm okay It's okay to not be okay sometimes If only you'd give me a little space Maybe I would finally be okay I'm so sick of painting on a smile I'm fed up with living in denial So take it or leave it there's no other way I just need to live at my own pace Can't you see I'm trying here Can't you tell I'm dying here So take it or leave it there's no other way Take it or leave it It takes the dark to see the stars Go and lose yourself and find out who you are Who you really are I'm tired of pretending I'm okay It's okay to not be okay sometimes If only you'd give me a little space Maybe I would finally be okay I'm tired of pretending I'm okay It's okay to not be okay sometimes I'm tired of pretending I'm okay It's okay to not be okay sometimes If only you give me a little space Maybe I would finally be okay Okay Okay Okay
