Appearances — The Material

This isn't hide and seek I left, you followed me I need some time to think And you know it I'm feeling trapped inside But too afraid to cry I'm living my own lie And you know it

Well I've been keeping up appearances, but this smile's wearing thin

Let me out, let me out I think I might drown I'm suffocating silently in front of the crowd Let me out, let me out I can't make a sound I hate to say it but I think it's over

I struggle to hold on But I'm trying to be strong Hiding more then I let on And you know it I'm searching for a dream A reason to believe But I'm sinking underneath And you know it

Well I've been keeping up appearances But this smile's wearing thin
