I don’t have the energy to pretend I’m happy today
I don’t have the energy to pretend I’m happy today
And I don’t mean I’ll act in an unnecessary big way
I won’t sulk in a corner, wishing I was in the middle of a freeway
And I surely won’t think of throwing someone down a stairway
You must understand what I’m trying to say
Haven’t you ever had one of those days?
When someone comes up to you with a smile
Expecting to receive a reaction that’s worthwhile
Because to them, it would be weird if you showed your true expression
They’d then mistake it for a misplaced aggression
Or maybe even a form of “great depression”
Sometimes one could be mistaken for merely “seeking attention”
Or attempting to commit some expected form of deception
When really it was just a lack of perception
On their part for expecting yet not receiving perfection.
You summed it up pretty good.
