I Am Tired of Pretending I'm Ok
I'm not happy, I'm not happy at all
I'm tired, tired of standing strong and tall.
I'm tired of pretending everything is fine,
I don't care anymore about parties or good wine.
They say no one likes a gloomy face,
But honey I'm tired of playing to your taste.
I'll be happy if for once you didn't ask what's wrong
Or tried to cheer me up with my favorite song.
You've loved and done so much for me,
I wish for now you'd just let me be.
I want to be somewhere no one will ask,
For I want to cry some and take off my happy mask.
