I live a thousand lies,
To hide a single truth;
That everything's pretense,
Every smile a mask -
A deceit to give you peace of mind.
I live a thousand lies,
Each morning when I wake
To greet you for the day;
You do not know that deep within,
In dreams I'd choose to stay.
I live a thousand lies,
Every time I say I'm well;
And no one seems to see,
The truth behind the 'me'.
Yet still, I'll live the lies,
A thousand every day
And the single truth of what I want,
Well hidden it will stay.
