Liner Notes

Another one, different angle to don't tell

Lyrics

Don’t tell yourself you’re happy when you’re not
Don’t pretend that everything’s alright
Don’t tell yourself it’s all gonna work out fine
Don’t pretend that it’s just not your time

Don’t bury the truth, it’s eating your soul
Don’t fake that smile when you’re losing control
Don’t tell yourself that it’s just a phase,
When inside you're stuck inside a complex maze

You’re delusional, you know it’s not like that
You’re delusional, you’re acting like a doormat

Don’t convince yourself it’s easy to let go
We both know that the pain will show.
Don’t tell yourself you’ve got it all figured out
We both know, you’re filled with doubt

Don’t tell yourself
Don’t tell yourself
You’re happy when you’re not

But, sometimes that's the only way to get through the day...
Still, you're right, it's better to be truthful to yourself.
Well written and really well played and sung.
