Fall
Am G C
I'm not strong enough to fake a smile
I can't hold back the tears for a while
I try to pretend I'm happy
But I'm not as brave as I want to be
I try to stand up tall
But no matter what I'll always fall
Because I can't be as brave as you
Although I wish that was the truth
I look in the mirror to see wet cheeks
And wonder, will I ever be free?
I just want to be given the key
To pretend that I'm happy
I try to stand up tall
But no matter what I'll always fall
Because I can't be as brave as you
Although I wish that was the truth
I look at my surroundings but I'm blinded
Not by light but by darkness
I wish that I could be needed
But I'm just a spare in this abyss
I try to stand up tall
But no matter what I'll always fall
Because I can't be as brave as you
Although I wish that was the truth
The universe is a ginormous place
And I will always be a waste
I wish that wasn't the case
But it is just too late
I try to stand up tall
But no matter what I'll always fall
Because I can't be as brave as you
Although I wish that was the truth
You can see right through my facade
Because I'm not strong enough to hide my flaws
If I could just keep this to myself
Maybe I could be a help
