cause this worlds so brutal its unreal

Got a plastic smile on my face
Hiding tears in the back of my brain
Every day feels like a race
But I'm stuck, I can't break this chain

Don't know why I even try
To fit into this messed-up lie
Wanna scream, wanna shout
But I'm drowning, can't get out

And everyone's saying "fake it"
But I'm tired of trying to make it
In this world that's so damn cruel
I'm done playing by their rules

So let me be, let me feel
I'm sick of acting like it's no big deal
I'm not sugar-coating how I feel
'Cause this world's so brutal, it's unreal

Every flaw under the microscope
Every mistake's a punchline, it's no joke
I'm just trying to find my way
But it's hard when everything's in shades of gray

Sick of trying to be so perfect
When perfection's just a myth, I reckon
Tired of hiding all my scars
I'm done with living behind these bars

And everyone's saying "fake it"
But I'm tired of trying to make it
In this world that's so damn cruel
I'm done playing by their rules

So let me be, let me feel
I'm sick of acting like it's no big deal
I'm not sugar-coating how I feel
'Cause this world's so brutal, it's unreal

I won't let them dim my light
I won't let them win this fight
I'll embrace every part of me
And break free from their tyranny

So let me be, let me feel
I'm sick of acting like it's no big deal
I'm not sugar-coating how I feel
'Cause this world's so brutal, it's unreal
