I've been living in this bubble

I tried so hard to be subtle

I didn't want to be found

I tried to get away from trouble


But I guess I was trouble

As much as I want to go away

It is part of who I am

It will forever stay


I can deny it all I want

Heck, I can forever pretend

But the most painful torture is lying to yourself

It's like you're planning your own end


I've been living in this eggshell

I thought I was trying to protect myself

But I didn't even know from what

I guess, it was a secret cry for help


No, I wasn't dying or anything

But my happiness was definitely

I've been thinking about other people

Without thinking if I was actually happy


I'm tired of pretending

I'm tired of always running

I'm gonna stop this pointless acting

I'm going to start living
