Lies
Lately it seems,
All I do is cry,
My life has become,
One big lie.
I lie to my friends,
And tell them I'm okay,
I put on a smile so,
They never see my pain.
I lie to my family,
So they leave me alone,
Being here with them,
Has never felt like home.
I lie to the people around me,
Because they'll never
understand,
That I'm never happy,
And I'm not the same Cheyenne.
Most of all I lie to myself,
I know that I need help,
But I keep on going,
Hiding the pain I've felt.
All I do is cry,

One big lie.

And tell them I'm okay,

But I keep on going,
Hiding the pain I've felt.
