Am I tellin' myself the truth
I'm used to pretending
to be strong and clueless
Am I doin' this right by you
I seem to be coming
off as wrong and ruthless
Am I tellin' myself the truth
about what I don't know
It makes me lose my
self-control
I'm staring through the eyes
of someone else
So I'll keep on smiling
on the surface
Hiding my nerves behind
the curtain
I'm caught up in an
empty room
Filled with second
thoughts and gloom
I'll keep on smiling
on the surface
Am I changing my mind again
All this indecision
makes me shift my focus
Is the tension my only friend
Anxiety holds my hands
when life gets hopeless
Am I tellin' myself the truth
about what I don't know
It makes me lose my
self-control
I'm staring through the eyes
of someone else
So I'll keep on smiling
on the surface
Hiding my nerves behind
the curtain
I'm caught up in an
empty room
Filled with second
thoughts and gloom
I'll keep on smiling
on the surface
Am I telling myself the truth
about my self-esteem
How others place their
worth in me
I'm staring through the eyes
of someone else
So I'll keep on smiling
on the surface
Hiding my nerves behind
the curtain
I'm caught up in an
empty room
Filled with second
thoughts and gloom
Yeah I'll keep smiling
on the surface
Am I tellin' myself the truth
