Tired of the Facade

[Verse 1]
Shadows dance where the mirrors crack,
Every smile’s a cover, mask so black.
Heartbeats echo down this empty hall,
I stand tall outside, but inside I fall.
[Chorus]
Why can’t I be sad? The tears won’t show,
Drowning in a storm, but they’ll never know.
Every laugh’s a dagger, cutting deep,
Tired of the facade, I just want to weep.
[Verse 2]
Silent screams in a crowded room,
Happiness a ghost, a fleeting plume.
Tape my cracks, pretend I’m whole,
While sorrow seeps inside my soul.
[Bridge]
Facades like armor, but they weigh me down,
Chasing smiles in a concrete town.
I’m the actress in their shining play,
Reciting lies every single day.
[Chorus]
Why can’t I be sad? The tears won’t show,
Drowning in a storm, but they’ll never know.
Every laugh’s a dagger, cutting deep,
Tired of the facade, I just want to weep.
[Verse 3]
Moonlight exposes what sunlight hides,
A battlefield of emotions collides.
Can’t hold the pieces, they slip and shatter,
Every step forward feels twice as scattered.
