Tired of Pretending

Verse 1
I feel like crap, I feel alone,
Trapped inside, no place called home.
No one gets me, no one cares,
Silent screams in empty air.

Pre-Chorus
Sick of hiding, sick of the lies,
Tired of wearing this disguise.

Chorus
I just wanna break away,
Escape this world, find my own way.
Tired of pretending, tired of the fight,
Searching for a little light.

Verse 2
My only escape is to hurt myself,
To disappear from this world, lose myself.
But deep inside, I’m still holding on,
Searching for light when all feels wrong.

Verse 3
Behind my smile, there’s a storm,
A heavy heart that won’t conform.
Faking brave, but breaking down,
Lost and wandering through this town.

Pre-Chorus
Sick of hiding, sick of the lies,
Tired of wearing this disguise.

Chorus
I just wanna break away,
Escape this world, find my own way.
Tired of pretending, tired of the fight,
Searching for a little light.

Bridge
Maybe someday someone will see,
The real me underneath this grief.
Till then I’ll fight to stand and be,
More than just a memory.

Chorus
I just wanna break away,
Escape this world, find my own way.
Tired of pretending, tired of the fight,
Searching for a little light.

Outro
I’m holding on, I’m not yet gone,
Still chasing hope till the dawn.
