Make Believe
Haley Rose Lyrics

It's only make believe
People tell you that what you see is not real

They said don't be scared
People tell you not to be afraid

It isn't real
What you see is not a tangible thing

You hear a noise and look
You startle at the sound and try to investigate its source

And nothing's there
You don't find anything that could have made the noise

But you know what you feel
You still feel scared, even though you didn't find anything

And they'll tell you once again
People repeat themselves, trying to convince you that nothing is there

It's all inside your troubled little head
People think that you're imagining the scary things

(It's all inside your head)
People think that the problem is emotional, rather than physical

(All inside your troubled little head)
People think that your fears are irrational

There's no monsters in your closet
There aren't any actual monsters in your room or in your house

Or underneath your bed
There are no real monsters hiding in any of the usual places

(Neath your bed)
Abbreviation of underneath your bed

(Neath your bed)
Abbreviation of underneath your bed

(Neath your bed)
Abbreviation of underneath your bed

Stop your worrying
People tell you to calm down

Something you can't see
What you are afraid of is not a physical thing that you can see

You ran upstairs
You try to escape from your fears by running upstairs

When you should've ran out the front door
You should've taken a different route to escape from your fears

Running from something you can't see
Trying to escape from something that is not visible

But running towards something more
Your fear has caused you to move towards something that is even scarier

But now you're trapped inside your back
You feel trapped in your own mind and body

You can see it in the glass
You can see your own fear reflected back at you

The end is near
You feel like something bad is about to happen

You turn around to stare it down
You try to confront your fear

To face your biggest feat
You are trying to confront your biggest fear

But no one's there
There is nothing to confront, as there is no physical entity causing fear

(No one's there)
There's no one present to harm you

(No one is there)
There is no one there to harm you

The sun is going down
The day is ending

And it's so cold
The physical environment is causing discomfort

(It's so cold)
The temperature is causing discomfort

It's getting dark outside
The night is approaching

And you're alone
You are by yourself

(You're all alone)
You are the only one present

And then there is something
You suddenly become aware of something new

That no one knows
No one else understands what you are going through

(No one knows)
There is nobody who can help you

And it's your biggest fear
This new thing is even more terrifying than what you were previously afraid of

The only monster is the monster in your mirror
The only thing that's causing fear is your own reflection

The voices always win
You can't escape the constant chatter in your head

And leave you so haunted
These thoughts that always persist leave a lasting impression, making you feel uneasy

Just close your eyes and count to ten
One way to calm down and distract yourself from these thoughts is to take deep breaths and focus your mind on something else

Like nothing bad ever happened
Try to distract yourself to the point where you forget what you were afraid of in the first place
