I hide myself
Behind a river of lies;
No one knows
What lies inside.
I hope to tell someone,
Someday,
But that seems an eternity away.
I lie about whom I am;
I lie about what I like;
And when I get home it hits me “BAM”!
I just lied to be liked.
I'm afraid of their opinions;
I’m afraid that they’ll leave;
I’m afraid that they’ll see me for me.
This might seem hard to understand
But this is how I am.
I’m trying to change
Believe me I am,
But there is still the fear
Of being found out who I am.
So hear me out
And don’t judge me please
And I’ll tell you who I am.
I’ll tell you my secrets,
I’ll tell you my lies,
I’ll tell you what lies inside.
