Sshhhhh

I'm here for you;
but,
I'm not really here for you.
Yes, I'm here for you
but, not really.

Sshhhhh

Don't let anyone know
I can't be here for you
I can't be here for myself
I can't let anyone know this
I must appear to be strong
I am not strong
I want to be here for you
I can't be here for you

Sshhhhh

Let this be our secret
Let's pretend
Let's never talk about it
Everyone will think all is okay;
and we'll have pretend happiness.
We'll have pretend safety
We'll be one big pretend happy family
We can all pretend to be here for each other
But, of course, not really.

Sshhhhh....
