In A World Of Pretend

I don’t know who I am
The thing is that I lost myself to you
I wonder, would you understand
If I told you this isn’t true?

My smile, it doesn’t get to my eyes
My laugh, your jokes aren’t even funny
Yes, this popularity is great, but it’s a lie

-Chorus-
In a world of pretend, how could I be real?
I lied about my music, clothes, and everything I have
Let’s not mention I didn’t mention what I feel
We’re living in a world of pretend
And once I’ve jumped the line of fiction, it’s hard to get back

If you saw trough my mask
I’m sure you wouldn’t even look my way
I can’t even breathe in this club
But I’ll tell you that I’m okay

The smoke is slowly burning my throat
I feel like throwing this beer on the floor
You see my popularity, but have you thought

-Chorus-
In a world of pretend, even I’m not real
I lied about my music, clothes, and everything I have
Let’s not mention I didn’t mention what I feel
We’re living in a world of pretend
And once I’ve jumped the line of fiction, it’s hard to get back

-Bridge-
One more glass, I taste the lies and lie a little more
So I’ll drink myself away until I fall on the floor

-Chorus-
In a world of pretend, you want nothing real
I lied about my music, clothes, and everything I have
Let’s not mention I didn’t mention what I feel
We’re living in a world of pretend
And once I’ve jumped the line of fiction, it’s hard to get back

I don’t know who I am
The thing is I will never be you
No matter how well I can pretend
This show I put on isn’t true

-Chorus-
In a world of pretend, I wish I was real
I lie about my music, clothes, and everything I have
Let’s not mention I cannot mention what I feel
We’re all lost in a world of pretend
And once I’ve jumped this line of fiction, I wanted right back

Oh dear, not easy to read, not easy to follow and not sure what the whole message is. Seems a bit patronisng, self loathing/pitying and condescending to me. Dont give up the day job just yet.....

:-| ..... Experimentalist, you should hear this girl perform. She's as ready to make music a career as anyone I've ever encountered on this site, and that numbers well over a hundred. As for how it seems to you, well music can certainly be all of those things. Musical creativity is whatever we make it to be, from whatever goes on within ourselves. Not to mention Angel isn't even in high school yet. So maybe you should lighten up just a little bit.

Angel, glad to see something new from you, and as usual it hits close to home. <3

Experimentalist,shut up. I've only been on this forum for a few minutes & I've seen your harsh comments on a lot of songs. How good do you think you are to criticize everyone? Okay, I've only read 1 or 2 of your songs and they're quite good, to be honest. But that doesn't mean you write the ONLY good songs on here. It depends on the taste of people, what they like, and what they don't like. I don't think this is her best either, but this song comes from the heart and that's what matters. Any song is good if it means something. And as MoonRide42 pointed, this girl is flippin' 13, can sing, play guitar, piano and drums.

Andreea, good job on this. Not quite your best, but I can imagine myself singing this @ the lessons.

My last post before I sign off: Angel and Alyc3, if you ever decide to perform this one I'd love to hear how it comes out in music

PS: New look on this site, I just found the "Like" button 1 or 2 posts before, lol

No, it's not about me. It's about my ex best friend.
