Lyrics

Why do I try to fulfill their dreams?
Wish I wouldn't do it for them but for me
They Say: "Damn, you should be happy
You're live looks like a movie to me"
I try to explain but they won't understand
It's different from what you see
Although it felt the same
It used to be so sunny
But now it starts to rain all day
I'm hoping for a change
I try, try, try, try, try
I live a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't know why, why, why ,why, why
Still I try, try, try, try
I try to act like myself
Longing for peace, I need some help
Too many responsibilities
Feels like it's slowly killing me inside
Please do not tell me it will be alright
Cause it won't be alright
I used to play for myself
But now I play for you
I show you all my feelings
Only I know it is not the truth
I don't wanna lose my cool
I try, try, try, try, try
I live a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't know why, why, why ,why, why
Still I try, try, try, try
I try, I try
I live a lie
I don't know why
I, I don't know why
Still I try
