I cry and you hear me laughing,

 

I am angry and you see me smiling,

 

I pray and you think I live,

 

I tell you the truth and you don't believe,

 

I make mistakes and you do not forgive,

 

I am so week and you say I am strong,

 

I am right and you say I am wrong,

 

I look at your eyes and you look at the floor,

 

I don't want to argue and you want more,

 

I hate and you flatter,

 

I suffer and you say it doesn't matter,

 

I hold out my hand and you clench a fist,

 

I speak about love and you say it doesn't exist,

 

I am happy and you do not see it,

 

I run and you make me to stumble,

 

I show you my love and you just gamble.

 

I've got so many masks

 

and you do not try to take them off.

 

I am an actress and you are watching a film

 

which is not on the screen but in reality,

 

the rest is just formality.
