lyrics

Look me in the eyes tell me this is all but over
Give me a reason to show my true face

I swear I can smile again there’s something I need to find within
You say my mind will heal with time these thoughts wont drag me under
I know I don’t seem to care its hard to feel this useless
These tears have long since dried ill try to smile one more time

I lost all my faith that ship sailed off long ago
Now I fear its too late to keep this from sinking deeper and deeper
Feels like I’m treading quicksand ill stand and watch this from distant shores

Oh I’m pushing and fighting maybe I’ll find it here, I’m pushing and fighting

I swear I can smile again there’s something I need to find within
You say my mind will heal with time these thoughts wont drag me under
I know I don’t seem to care its hard to feel this useless
These tears have long since dried ill try to smile one more time

You will soon find out there’s more to me than I let show
I’m the pretender
