Living a Lie

Living a Lie

(Verse 1)
I built this world with hollow words
A life that seemed perfect, but it’s all unheard
I wore the mask, played the part so well
But inside I was trapped, stuck in my own shell

I smiled through the pain, laughed through the tears
Pretended I had it all, covered all my fears
But the cracks started showing, the truth couldn’t hide
The more I faked it, the more I felt tied

(Pre-Chorus)
I lived for their approval, to meet their demands
But I lost myself in trying to fit their plans
Now I’m standing here, looking at the cost
I built my life on lies, and now I’m feeling lost

(Chorus)
I’ve been living a lie, trying to be someone I’m not
Chasing all the things they said I should’ve got
But I’m tired of pretending, tired of the disguise
I can’t keep living this way, it’s time to realize
I’ve been living a lie, hiding behind the facade
But it’s time to break free, time to drop the charade
I need to be true, I need to be real
I can’t keep living a lie, that’s not how I feel

(Verse 2)
I followed the rules, played the game
But all I’ve got to show is a hollow name
I tried to be perfect, tried to be wise
But all I’ve learned is that I’ve lived in disguise

They said I was strong, said I was fine
But inside I was crumbling, falling behind
I thought I could make it, thought I could stand
But now I realize it was never my plan

(Bridge)
It’s time to let go, to find my way
To stop living for others, to start today
No more pretending, no more fear
I’m finally ready to be sincere

(Outro)
No more living a lie, I’ll find who I am
No more pretending, no more playing their hand
It’s time to be true, it’s time to be free
I’m done with the lies, it’s time to just be me.
