It's a beautiful lie

As soon as I wake up, my thoughts start to race
How do I forget what I cannot erase?
I'm quick to brace myself with such beguile
It's a beautiful lie, it's a perfect denial

You ask if I am fine, if my day is going well
I nod and say yes, hoping you cannot tell
These words that escape are just coated with guile
It's a beautiful lie, it's a perfect denial.

The secrets that I hide, you will never know
I'm pretending I still have what I lost long ago
And you can't see, through this fake smile
It's a beautiful lie, it's a perfect denial
