My dad told me he hoped that he lived long enough
                 Db
To see me happy again
  Ab
I didn't know what to say to that
                               Db
So all I said back was, "yeah, me too."

         Ab
I wanna smile without hesitations
Ab2   
Laugh without any reservations
Db
Say I'm fine and mean it

            Ab
I wanna be happy like I know I should be
    Ab2                      Db
I'm sorry truly my sadness makes you sad too
             Fm             Db
And since I can't happy for me
                     Ab
I wanna be happy for you

People tell me I look happier

It feels like a lie
                Ab        C5+      Fm   Ab
Maybe I'm just better at hiding it now
          Ab     C5+          Fm         Ab
Or maybe this is what healing feels like

Maybe all that it is is not knowing what it is
      Db
Until you do it
       Eb                    Eb
I was hurting so bad for so long
                  Db
And then I wasn't before I knew it

And there was no--- graduation day
   C5+       Fm    Ab
No clear finish line
     Ab  C5+       Fm         Ab
Just me working at healing my hurting
     Ab            C5+         Fm             Ab
And wondering if I'll be method acting for the rest of my life

And now I think I do too

Either that or I'm a damn good actor

Cause even I've got myself fooled

         Eb                                       Db
At some point, I stopped having to pretend to be fine
   Eb
I don't know when it happened
                                  Db
But someday method acting turned into real life
