The first time I faked a smile
I didn’t think it’d last a while
But I wore it like a perfect mask
Hid my heart and didn’t ask
No one saw the cracks inside
I was hiding what I couldn’t confide
You thought I was fine, you thought I was strong
But I’ve been faking it all along
First time faking it, I played the part
I put on a smile, but broke my heart
No one could see through the walls I built
But inside, I was drowning in guilt
First time faking it, I wore the lie
Pretended everything was fine
But underneath, I couldn’t take the weight
First time faking it, sealed my fate
I laughed with you, but it wasn’t real
I hid every fear, every feel
I thought I’d manage, I thought I’d survive
But faking it was how I stayed alive
No one saw the cracks inside
I was hiding what I couldn’t confide
You thought I was fine, you thought I was strong
But I’ve been faking it all along
First time faking it, I played the part
I put on a smile, but broke my heart
No one could see through the walls I built
But inside, I was drowning in guilt
First time faking it, I wore the lie
Pretended everything was fine
But underneath, I couldn’t take the weight
First time faking it, sealed my fate
Now every day, I wear the same
Hiding my truth in silent shame
But the cracks are showing, it’s breaking through
And I don’t know what I should do
First time faking it, I played the part
I put on a smile, but broke my heart
No one could see through the walls I built
But inside, I was drowning in guilt
First time faking it, I wore the lie
Pretended everything was fine
But underneath, I couldn’t take the weight
First time faking it, sealed my fate
First time faking it, I thought I’d hide
But now I’m breaking down inside.
The first time my heart truly broke
Was when you left without a word or a stroke
I didn’t see it coming, didn’t know
That love could turn to ice so cold
You walked away like it meant nothing
Left me alone, left me with nothing
The silence hit me like a train
First real heartbreak, drowning in pain
First real heartbreak, it tore me apart
Ripped every piece of my shattered heart
I didn’t know love could cut so deep
Now I’m drowning in the tears I weep
First real heartbreak, it came so fast
Left me wondering how love could last
You broke me down, you broke me wide
First real heartbreak cut me inside
I tried to call, but you were gone
The love we had just moved along
I didn’t know how to let you go
Now I’m stuck in a world so low
You walked away like it meant nothing
Left me alone, left me with nothing
The silence hit me like a train
First real heartbreak, drowning in pain
First real heartbreak, it tore me apart
Ripped every piece of my shattered heart
I didn’t know love could cut so deep
Now I’m drowning in the tears I weep
First real heartbreak, it came so fast
Left me wondering how love could last
You broke me down, you broke me wide
First real heartbreak cut me inside
Now every word feels like a scar
The memories are never far
I’m trying to heal, trying to forget
But the first heartbreak lingers yet
First real heartbreak, it tore me apart
Ripped every piece of my shattered heart
I didn’t know love could cut so deep
Now I’m drowning in the tears I weep
First real heartbreak, it came so fast
Left me wondering how love could last
You broke me down, you broke me wide
First real heartbreak cut me inside
First real heartbreak, it left me raw
Now I don’t know who I was before.
I didn’t think it’d last a while
