No More Pretending

"Look on the brightside..."
What if there is no brightside?...
I'm tired of pretending...
Smiling to make you happy.

Stop with the questions,
We know you don't care about me.
Why do you care if I'm happy?
How does my view on life affect you?

Laughing on cue...
Smiling politely...
All for you...
Because you dont like the real me.

I guess its too bad now...
I don't like this game anymore...
I'll take a bow,...
I fooled them all.

Don't panic, don't fret...
"Everything will be okay..."
This is as easy as it gets...
I no longer have to fake it.

Go on, leave, towards the open door you go,....
It was your choice to stay in the first place...
It's not like I didn't already know...
I guess I fooled myself as well as the rest of you.

Now it's all clear to me...
I'm back living my way...
Being who I want to be...
You can't always have your way.
