I Don’t Want You To See This

[Verse 1]
Perfect is what I strive for
Hide all of the bad, the evidence of before
I've gotta hide it from you, from everybody (From you)
Automatic since I was young
Had to be a parent 'cause my parents weren't enough
I've been conditioned to be sad
To fake it all, to stay mad

[Pre-Chorus]
So look at my house, look at my car, look at my smile
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it deceiving?
Look my job, making these songs
Think I'd be happy, but I'm not
Isn't so nice
Isn't it deceiving?

[Chorus]
I don't want you to see this
It's me falling to pieces
Close your eyes, focus on my lies
I don't want you to see this
It's me falling to pieces
Close your eyes, pretend that I'm fine
I don't want you to see this

[Verse 2]
Sorry for any hurt that I have caused
Pain is in my blood, it travels right through my heart
That's why I'm faded all the time
And I'm always changing my damn mind (Yeah)
Shit, I didn't mean to open up
Forget about my words and picture me as enough
'Cause if I'm crying or upset
I'm scared you'll leave me like all the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
So look at my house, look at my car, look at my smile
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it deceiving?
Look my job, making these songs
Think I'd be happy, but I'm not
Isn't so nice
Isn't it deceiving?

[Chorus]
I don't want you to see this
It's me falling to pieces
Close your eyes, focus on my lies (Focus on my lies)
I don't want you to see this
It's me falling to pieces
Close your eyes, pretend that I'm fine (Pretend that I'm fine)
I don't want you to see this

[Outro]
I don't want you to see this, see this (See this)
I don't want you to see this, see this (See this)
I don't want you to see this
I don't want you to see this
