What I Pretend to Be

Grew up in a small town
Always felt like I couldn't breathe
Waiting for an opportunity
To just breakaway and leave
Always wanted to belong here
Yet nothing ever seemed right here
You've tried to take everything I am
Tears fell from my eyes like a dam
Go ahead and tear me down
One day I will get outta this town
Would it make you happy to see me cry?
Will you stop at nothing just to see me die?
Cold words
Hard ground
Some people know how to bring you crashing down
Cold words
Cold stares
Light the match and throw a spark
I am ready to light up the dark
Even though all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
Trusting others and being betrayed
Left me lonely, and afraid
Like a tidal wave I will rise
Crashing into land at sunrise
With every lie,
Did you think I would crumble
Breakdown and cry
Go ahead and tear me down
One day I will get outta this town
Would it make you happy to see me cry?
Will you stop at nothing just to see me die?
Cold words
Hard ground
Some people know how to bring you crashing down
Cold words
Cold stares
Light the match and throw a spark
I am ready to light up the dark
Even though all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
I am barley holding on, torn into pieces
But you only see, what I pretend to be
Broken up deep inside
Now all that's left of me, is what I pretend to be
Would it make you happy to see me cry?
Will you stop at nothing just to see me die?
Cold words
Hard ground
Some people know how to bring you crashing down
Cold words
Cold stares
Light the match and throw a spark
I am ready to light up the dark
Even though all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
Broken up deep inside
Now all that's left of me, is what I pretend to be
