I hide behind a smile
Close my eyes
Sing along while
My heart silently cries
Paint my face to deceive
Stand tall, shoulders back
Make the world around me believe
That I'm right on track
Nothing will get me down
I can't let that happen now
You won't catch me with a frown
It's not something I'll allow
I gotta keep up the facade
Never let anyone see
With time I slowly begin to fade
Into someone other than me
It's okay though
I don't really care
No one needs to know
I'm no longer there
