I'm tired of the lies,
The feelings you tend to hide.
The day to day stress
You always put me under.

I'm tired of the lies,
That empty look on your face.
That smile that you
Never show.

The guilt I hide,
Only meant to please.
Do you know how much
Damage you've inflicted?

The people who hate me
Seem to be the only ones
Able to see through this mask.

When you're upset,
Everyone tends to know.
You make no secret of it.

But when I am
The ones I hold close
Don't notice the difference
They believe my own lies.
