[Verse 1]
You thought I was happy
You thought I had moved on
But what you don't understand
Is that the bruises fade
But the pain lives on
[Verse 2]
You believed in the smiles
That I faked every day
But you couldn't see through
The mask I hid behind
When I didn't know what to say
[Chorus]
I'm good at pretending
I've learnt to lie
About how I'm feeling
So people don't ask why
I've gotten good at faking
I've practised the act
If you took a closer look
You'd see that I'm barely intact
[Verse 3]
My eyes lost their sparkle
I wiped the tears away
Yet you didn't even notice
When you held me close to you
And together we lay
[Verse 4]
I brought back the smile
Cause without it I'm weak
Not sure if you realised
If you even noticed
Is that why you didn't speak?
[Chorus]
I'm good at pretending
I've learnt to lie
About how I'm feeling
So people don't ask why
I've gotten good at faking
I've practised the act
If you took a closer look
You'd see that I'm barely intact
[Bridge]
Please look closer to my heart
You might find that it's torn apart
When I'm alone, the choices I make are wrong
But, you can fix me, since when I'm with you I'm strong
Or at least I pretend to be
[Chorus]
I'm good at pretending
I've learnt to lie
About how I'm feeling
So people don't ask why
I've gotten good at faking
I've practised the act
If you took a closer look
You'd see that I'm barely intact
I'm good at pretending
I've learnt to lie
About how I'm feeling
So people don't ask why
