Every day, I wake up feeling drained
An act put on, myself restrained
Expectations weighing down
I can hardly keep my feet on the ground
But I smile in hopes that you'll someday see
The way I am, and smile back at me
It's gonna happen soon, coming any day
The illusion's gonna fade away
I work hard at everything I do
But the only thing I care about is you
I don't have any real friends
You're the only one who knows how I am
I'm such a fraud, I'm such a fake
When you cross my mind, I start to shake
But I smile cause I know that you'll someday see
Who I am, and be proud of me
I won't sit here and let you lose
I've got some things I wanna prove
Don't be sad she turned you down
Cause I'm right here on the rebound
And I know you loved me once before
But that's not true, not anymore
You've moved on, and I understand
I'll make you happy, any way I can
Smile at me
Help me finally see
Smile at me
Maybe you'll agree
That we were meant to be
