What do you do
When the laughter stops?
What do you do
When the fun ends?
How do you face the truth
When you've been deluding yourself
All
Along
?
How do you deal
When everything changes?
Do you hold on
Desperately
To what you have left
And pretend it hasn't changed?
How do you convince yourself
The best days of your life
Are really over?
How can you help but
Pretend
?
What do you have
When everything is lost
And you know it can
Never
Be
Found
?
What is left of you
When everything you are
Becomes nothing you have?
When does that smile
Stop being a mask, a
Lie
?
Can you ever forget
Yourself
And become a whole new
Someone
Else
?
And if you start being
Another person
Have you truly
Lost
Everything
?
