Analysis of Tired of Faking
Put on the facade again today
Bright and beautiful
Fun and happy,
Pretend like everything is okay
When really inside, you're dying
Tired of faking
I just wanna be the real thing
No one wants that though
So I'll keep putting on my show,
Enjoy, here you all go.
Paste a smile on, feel it melt away
Can't seem to make the grin stay today
Feel so hollow when I'm all alone
No one to hear my silent groan
But I'm still tired of faking
Don't think I can be the real thing
No one seems to care though
So I'll keep putting on my show
Enjoy, here you all go.
I wish you could see me, though I hide
I wish my pain wasn't a surprise
I wish I didn't suffocate my heart
I wish that I could just restart
Tired of faking
I just wanna be the real thing
No one wants that though
So I'll keep putting on my show,
Enjoy, here you all go.
