What do you do when your mind knows things that your heart refuses to accept?

When you can do nothing but pretend that everything is okay?

How can you keep a smile on your face when your insides are being torn to pieces?

How can you look at the "positive" aspects of a situation when it only reminds you of the happiness that you lost?

And how is it not your fault when pages can be filled with the things you've done wrong?

Answer me all this and convince me life isn't a lie.

hmm...well thought out questions.  I don't think that life is a lie, just alot of lies in it at times, but then again we all have to find the answers for ourselves.  Boy have you come to the right place to help find those answers.  Welcome to passions, your gonna love it here.
