Fake a Happy Heart
Dan Loctor
I wake early today
Seeing my face, I'm okay?
Made my bed, hiding the mess
Smile on my face, I confess
Mirror knows, mirror stays
Knows my truth, won't say a word
Smile back, play the party
Fake it good, fake a happy heart
Keep it quiet, keep it clean
No one needs to hear a thing
If I laugh, if I shine
Maybe I can fool my mind
Run from me, don't stay too long
Something here is feeling wrong
If you see behind my eyes
You won't like what's inside
Run from me, just let it go
There's some things you shouldn't know
I'm just trying to be kind
Before I lose my mind
I step light, I speak low
Try to be someone you know
I don't break, I don't bend
I just hide it in the end
Little cracks under skin
Little wars I never win
If you ask, I'll just smile
I'm fine for a while
Don't get close, don't get near
There's a reason I'm right here
Built these walls, locked the door
I don't trust me anymore
Run from me, don't stay too long
Something here is feeling wrong
If you see behind my eyes
You won't like what's inside
Run from me, just let it go
There's some things you shouldn't know
I'm just trying to be kind
Before I lose my mind
I can breathe, I don't know why
Someone stayed this time
Held me close, didn't run
Said: You're not the only one
