Here but not
Surrounded but alone
And even introverts get lonely sometimes
I’m more lost than ever
And nobody even knows
I put up a hard front
And laugh at all the pain
Now they think nothing hurts
Now they say anything
And I put on a smile
But don’t they know
Even the strong sometimes cry
I really should stop playing pretend
I thought they’d see beyond the facade
I guess that’s the price of not having real friends
The whole world’s in disguise
