Fake a Happy Heart

I wake early today
Seeing my face, I'm okay?
Made my bed, hiding the mess
Smile on my face, I confess

Mirror knows, mirror stays
Knows my truth, won't say a word
Smile back, play the party
Fake it good, fake a happy heart

Keep it quiet, keep it clean
No one needs to hear a thing
If I laugh, if I shine
Maybe I can fool my mind

Run from me, don't stay too long
Something here is feeling wrong
If you see behind my eyes
You won't like what's inside

Run from me, just let it go
There's some things you shouldn't know
I'm just trying to be kind
Before I lose my mind

I step light, I speak low
Try to be someone you know
I don't break, I don't bend
I just hide it in the end

Little cracks under skin
Little wars I never win
If you ask, I'll just smile
I'm fine for a while

Don't get close, don't get near
There's a reason I'm right here
Built these walls, locked the door
I don't trust me anymore

Run from me, don't stay too long
Something here is feeling wrong
If you see behind my eyes
You won't like what's inside

Run from me, just let it go
There's some things you shouldn't know
I'm just trying to be kind
Before I lose my mind

I can breathe, I don't know why
Someone stayed this time
Held me close, didn't run
Said: You're not the only one
