Time to Pretend

Let me tell you a story of a girl who lost her way she cried into the night and she walked into the day all ready to pretend; nice, big smile on her face... enter with a nice, big bang and leave without a trace so no one asks her where she's gone or what she's gone to do while she slumps in the bathroom; blood and tears, they flow for you... She'll get up, clean up, cover up. Make sure her eyes aren't red... Walk back out, bear through it cause it's all just in her head. Soon her ruse fails to suffice. They ask endlessly what's wrong... But she knows they're just acting, see, they sing the words but hate the song. One day she had enough and locked herself away inside. Her parents tried so hard but still she never would confide all the things that had gone wrong. Who was left to take the blame? She stayed inside her room and hung her head in selfish shame. Eventually, her parents, they got mad and broke the door. Inside they found a body, hanging up above the floor. They broke, fell to their knees, and they cried, without a sound... Beneath her dangling feet there lay a note upon the ground. The note said, "Please don't worry, this is better, in the end. Fate is just a lie, because we're fated to pretend."
