should I pretend to be strong

when I have been weak all along

now all I see is darkness all around me

I've tried for so long to be brave

waiting quietly to be saved

now I'm bleeding every prayer I speak



Chorus

cause you know I lied

when I said I was all right

I never wanted to be this way

don't want to hear you say it's gonna be okay

cause that is as much of a lie

as when I tell you I'm all right



should I keep going on like this

clutching to this unspoken wish

now I know it probably won't come true

I'm holding onto hope so tight

that my knuckles have turned white

now what else is there to do

Chorus



what words do I need to hear

to wipe away my every single tear

maybe if you tell me a lie

that would be one night I wouldn't cry

maybe it's better to pretend

so won't you lie to me again

Chorus
