Lyrics:

They say work hard
But I know what they really mean
They don't see the pain this brings
Dying day to day

They say I'm smart
But they don't see me struggling
Know this person underneath
Wearing this facade

And when
You try to hold my hand
But you don't understand me
Don't know who I am
Just let me go
Just leave me alone
You can't know the real me
The real me I don't show
To anyone I know

They say I'm beautiful
But I can read the lines between
See the empty space they leave
The empty space is me

And I know I'm not
Everything that they believe
They pass by me on the streets
There's nothing there to see

And then
You try to hold my hand
But you don't understand me
Don't know who I am
Just let me go
Just leave me alone
You can't know the real me
The real me I don't show
To anyone I know

Anyone I know

Cuz if I just keep working
Push away the hurt and
Never look behind the
Curtain I'll be certain

No one sees the hole
My heart leaves on my soul
The pain I can’t distill
The one I try to fill

With all of my success and
All my independence
I can’t keep pretending
Why do I feel empty

So if I just keep working
Push away the hurt and
If I just keep working
Push away the hurt and
If I just keep working
Push away the hurt and then
Maybe they'll love me

Imposter
