As I lie through my teeth I hate it

I put on an act just for you

Where normal is what you see

And insanity is the real me.

But when the morning comes

It’ll be another battle neither lost nor won

With today the same as yesterday

And tomorrow an eternity away.

Tears streak down my face

But you will only see the smile

With each day comes a lie

And one more secret to hide.

I find myself questioning

My faith, my beliefs, my life

Is my greatest fear a reality?

Am I about to get myself into strife?

But when the morning comes

It’ll be another battle neither lost nor won

With today the same as yesterday

And tomorrow an eternity away.

I laugh and joke around with you

But inside my heart aches

Why can’t I just be me?

And you just be you?

And when you know my darkest secrets

You’ve unlocked the door to my soul

Will you still love me?

And will we grow old?

But when the morning comes

It’ll be another battle neither lost nor won

With today the same as yesterday

And tomorrow an eternity away.
