I'm tired of pretending
That I'm happy, I keep forgetting
Who I was at the beginning of last week
Who I was I can't remember don't ask me
I'm tired of your complimenting
It sounds so condescending
I'm uncomfortable with your patronizing
Your affection is agonizing
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
Ask me how I'm doing, I'll tell you that I'm just fine
Pay no attention to this absent mind of
Mine on the borderline
I'm holding on to hope for dear life
Overdue a hospital night
So sick of lies like "I'm just fine"
"I'll be okay" and "I'll call you tonight", so I said
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
Whoa, whoa
Why do I have to pretend like I'm alright?
For your sake, I guess that I'm alright
