lyrics

If you pretend to be happy
You eventually will be
You could even surprise me
Well I really won't mind that

For so long
I'd pretend
It's a headache

And if it won't come now
It won't come later
And that's alright

I'm truly fine
I promise
And I will die one day
But let's hope that's it's not today

And my phones goes off
In my pocket
And I'll probably ignore it
Cause I don't want to talk right now

And If you pretend to be happy
You eventually will be
You could even surprise me
Well I really won't mind that

For so long
I'd pretend
It's a headache

And if it won't come now
It won't come later
And that's alright

Morning comes
Earlier then I once thought
Can you leave your
Bedroom it's Friday night

I get up at night
Till the morning light
And I'll sleep till dawn
Till I'm finally ready to
Leave my room
But I don't want to
I'm too scared to
Try not to be alone

I get up at night
Till the morning light
And I'll sleep till dawn
Till I'm finally ready to
Leave my room
But I don't want to
I'm too scared to
Try not to be alone

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Whoa

I'm too scared to try not to be alone
