Fake...
Do you believe the lies
That you let the whole world see?
Are you really this person?
It doesn't seem that way to me.
Why do you change your mind
Just to please your so-called friends
I wish you'd be yourself
So that we could make amends.
You crave their approval,
Hanging on their every word.
The idea of letting go-
Is it really that absurd?
I miss the person from before
The one you used to be
The one that smiled and laughed and danced
So happy and so free
Does that person still exist,
Buried deep inside?
Tell her to come back again,
Tell her not to hide.
You used to be so independent
Now you fear rejection
Because they judge you so quickly,
You want to pass inspection.
I know you think I'm jealous
When you spend your time together
But what I feel for you is pity,
Jealousy? Not ever.
I don't wish I was there because
They treat you just like dirt.
They say things about you,
Words that would hurt.
You have heard their gossip,
Cried out in despair,
You forgive them quickly, though.
You soon cease to care.
So I've given up on you,
I'm sorry to say.
You're too far gone to notice,
You've changed in every way.
But if you find
You hate the path
You've chosen for now on
Don't worry darling, I'll be here
And they will all be gone.
