I'm lost in a world that's full of empty smiles
And everything's so strange
I fake my emotions to get by for a while
But nothing seems to change
Every word I speak, and every move I make
They'd never know, but it's all fake
Time after time I'm just keeping up appearances
Line after line I'm just lying but the difference is
I'm still bleeding
And it's so defeating
But I can't help myself
Every laugh is just a part of the show
I'm looking for another chance to grow
Nobody knows
What I've been feeling
Inside and it shows
They all think I'm healing
Things come and they go
But I can't reach the ceiling
It's the undertow
That I've been conceiling
It's holding me down
I'll hold back my frown and
Act like everything is fine
But in the end the stars never align
I wanna find the strength to be
Real to myself
I'm thinking that
Things won't get better
That things won't get better
Everyone around me sees a person that I'm not
Painting these memories that I have forgot
Every laugh is just a part of the show
I'm looking for another chance to grow
Every joke is just a part of the play
I'm lost in the darkness while light fades away
Nobody knows
What I've been feeling
Inside and it shows
They all think I'm healing
Things come and they go
But I can't reach the ceiling
It's the undertow
That I've been conceiling
It's holding me down
I'll hold back my frown and
Act like everything is fine
But in the end the stars never align
Nobody knows
What I've been feeling
Inside and it shows
They all think I'm healing
Things come and they go
But I can't reach the ceiling
It's the undertow
That I've been conceiling
It's holding me down
I'll hold back my frown and
Act like everything is fine
But in the end the stars never align
