This Isn't Me

This Isn’t Me

(Verse1)

I see you everyday, walking down the hallway

You seem just fine, smiling all the time

Laughing with your friends, going on with your life

While you don’t know, that I’m dying inside

(Verse2)

I said I was fine, that I don’t care, it’s for the best

I tried to pretend it was a game, nothing more

But the feelings rushed through me

And I couldn’t hold them anymore

(Chorus)

She says she doesn’t care, her eyes tell a different story

Behind every smile, there’s a hurting heart

Behind every laugh, I’m falling apart

Look at me once more, you’ll see, this isn’t me

(Verse3)

They said it would be fine, to let my guards down

That I won’t be hurt, if I opened my heart to you

Look at me now, broken in pieces, shattered on the floor

I can’t take it, this pain is killing me

(Verse4)

If you look into my eyes, the smile I put on, is a mask

I wake up and think dreams are real

I fall back asleep so I don’t have to feel

To tell you the truth, I’ve just been avoiding everything

(Chorus)

She says she doesn’t care, her eyes tell a different story

Behind every smile, there’s a hurting heart

Behind every laugh, I’m falling apart

Look at me once more, you’ll see, this isn’t me

(Bridge)

I don’t want to admit my feelings, it’s easier to lie 

Hide the hurt and emptiness and put on smile

I don’t know if I’m getting better or just used to the pain

(Chorus)

She says she doesn’t care, her eyes tell a different story

Behind every smile, there’s a hurting heart

Behind every laugh, I’m falling apart

Look at me once more, you’ll see, this isn’t me

(Chorus) (sung softly)

She says she doesn’t care, her eyes tell a different story

Behind every smile, there’s a hurting heart

Behind every laugh, I’m falling apart

Look at me once more, you’ll see, this isn’t me

This isn’t me (go higher as I sing the line)
