Fooling Myself

I used to lie

Say i'm fine

Now I'm running out of options

I tried to hide

Only fooling myself

Only in my 20's but

I feel I'm missing out

On the last few years

That I spent always feeling down

All alone, kept it shut, all I wanted was to shout

I used to lie

Say i'm fine

Now I'm running out of options

I tried to hide

Only fooling myself

But you saw through the smile I'm faking

Every single day

And with every mistake I'm making

You still chose to stay

When I tried to hide

Only fooling myself

You picked me up everytime that I felt way too weak

Became a ritual, but you still saw my qualities

I didn't realize it then, but you are all I need

Even Though

I used to lie

Say i'm fine

Now I'm running out of options

I tried to hide

Only fooling myself

But you saw through the smile I'm faking

Every single day

And with every mistake I'm making

You still chose to stay

When I tried to hide

Only fooling myself

I said I'm fine

Oh I was only fooling myself

Oh I tried to hide

Only fooling myself
