I keep tricking my friends Into thinking I'm alright Don't they see I'm not fine? I simply pretend To not be hurt When they say something I don't like But I have to I can't let them see They can hurt me this bad Woah oh oh I need to act As if I'm perfect I cannot mess up Not even once I keep faking a smile Act like i'm alright Just playing the part They don't realize How bad I don't like to Be who I am I keep pretending As if I'm not tired Of being someone That I'm not But I have to I just don't know how How can I act like I'm perfect? If I don't even know what perfect is? How can I pretend I'm worth it? When I know I'm not worth much more than How can I act like I'm perfect? In front of the entire world? I'm just waiting to fail Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh How can I act like I'm perfect? If I don't even know what perfect is?
