Broken (Digital Single)

about

Ever fake it to make it? Ever feel like you literally want to die, but have to make yourself leave the house and put on a smile? This is very HARD to do! Especially when you have serious depression. BUT...on a good note, this song turns that around and sings this whole concept with a fun twist. One of the lines: "I love pretend! Come let's pretend". 
The opening line: "Even though I know when I lie, I still pretend I'm victimized. This is how I survive the pain...it's NOT ok". We all act badly sometimes and we usually KNOW it! So...I'm simply admitting it here! 
We all know what this is like and we are all broken in some way. This song just TALKS ABOUT IT...something we should all do.
Denial means:
Don't
Even
No (know)
I
Am
Lying

lyrics

Even though I know when I lie, I still pretend I'm victimized.
This is how I survive the pain, it's not ok.

I know it's BROKEN, and that it's hopeless.
And if I keep on doin what I'm doin to my hearts content.
I'll show you hopeless, you'll know Iím BROKEN.
And if I keep expecting something different, it don't make no sense.

It just feels good ignoring life and all the things I can't depend.
I'm in a bubble of pretend, I LOVE PRETEND!

I know it's BROKEN, and that it's hopeless.
And if I keep on doin what I'm doin to my hearts content.
I'll show you hopeless, you'll know Iím BROKEN.
And if I keep expecting something different, it don't make no sense.

Denial means: Donít.Even.(K)now.I.Am.Lying!

I love pretend, come let's pretend!
I love pretend, come let's pretend!
I love pretend, come let's pretend!
I love pretend, come let's pretend!
