Rachel Nesmith - A Fragile Lie Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Behind this perfect smile, there's a heart that's breaking

Beneath the surface, something's not quite right

I've got it all, but the cracks are showing through

This happiness I'm faking, just doesn't feel true

[Pre-Chorus]

The world expects me to be strong, to have it all figured out

But the truth is, I'm barely holding on, I'm drowning in self-doubt

[Chorus]

'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find

Turns out to be a fragile lie

All the pieces don't quite fit

This life I'm living isn't it

[Verse 2]

I thought I had it all mapped out, this picture-perfect plan

But now I'm lost inside these walls, I can barely understand

I put on a brave face day by day, but inside I'm falling apart

This happiness I'm chasing, it's tearing me apart

[Pre-Chorus]

The world expects me to have it made, to always have the answers

But the truth is, I'm so afraid, I'm running out of chances

[Chorus]

'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find

Turns out to be a fragile lie

All the pieces don't quite fit

This life I'm living isn't it

[Bridge]

Is this the price I have to pay?

To keep up with what others say?

I'm tired of wearing this disguise

When all I want is to be alive

[Chorus]

'Cause the happiness I thought I'd find

Turns out to be a fragile lie

All the pieces don't quite fit

This life I'm living isn't it

[Outro]

This life I'm living isn't it

No, this life I'm living isn't it
