Lying

I go through life always smiling
Keeping the truth within that I'm really dying
I can't take the pain from this life anymore
Day by day my pain increases ever more
Everyday I wish the pain would just go away
But no matter what I try it still stays

I plunged to the ground from the highest heights
No longer able to put up a fight
Extreme winds were blowing in my direction
Now I hide that I've fallen to avoid attention
I give out the impression that I'm happy
But it’s all a front so people won’t worry about me

It may be that I'm lying to those who care about me
But I don't want everyone to know the things that i feel
I know they would just want to help me
But I know only I can make me happy
So now I have to pull through on my own
I have to make my own way home
