Pretend It's Okay

Just Bite my lip and pretend it’s okay
Blink back the tears and hope everything will go away...
Sometimes when I’m down in the dumps
I wish everything and everyone would go away
But I know that’s impossible
Because I’m here to stay.
They say that time flies
But only when you’re having fun
God, how I wish there was something to smile about
And that all of this shit would be done.
There’s evil gossip and nasty breakups
And it seems I’ll never win
Those people who verbally torture me make it worse
And they make me feel that I’m worthless within.
Just bite my lip and pretend it’s okay
Blink back the tears and hope everything will go away...
Time ticks slowly by
And it keeps getting more slow
The pain gets worse and there’s nothing I can do
Except suck it up and go with the flow.
Everything I ever say
Is distorted and twisted really bad
And no one believes my side of the story
And then these people DARE say that I shouldn’t be mad?
I wish there was a perfect world
Where no one ridiculed you for
Being ‘different’ or ‘strange’ or ‘weird’ at all
Going through life like this is such a chore.
Just bite my lip and pretend it’s okay
Blink back the tears and hope everything will go away...
I can’t win, can I?
No matter what I do, it’s never good enough
I mean, people said life was going to be hard
But I wasn’t expecting it this rough.
It’s getting worse and worse
And I’m going down and down
I act like everything’s okay
But really, there’s a masked frown.
The rumors, the lies, the deception
It’s all part of this mess
Everyone has to live with it, right?
I think it’s what people call “stress”.
If I had only one wish:
It would be for life to be problem free
But with all of these people putting me down
How can that ever be?
Always putting me down
Always on my case
Always telling me I’m wrong
Always calling me a disgrace.
Just bite my lip and pretend it’s okay
Blink back the tears and hope everything goes away...
