Smile
Smile,
Pretend everything's okay.
They don't have to know.
Laugh,
Even though,
It's fake.
Cry,
When they're not around.
Scream,
When no one can hear you.
As far as they know,
You're okay.
They don't have to know.
They don't have to know!
You hurt,
And can't make it go away!
You cry in the night,
Nightmares everywhere!
Can't get away...
You just want to run away.
Nowhere to go.
Nowhere to hide.
They don't have to know,
No.
They don't have to know,
You lie about it.
The smiles,
The laughs,
It was all fake.
They don't have to know,
How much it really hurts.
