They say a smile is a curve
That sets everything straight
Hers is no more than a mask
Worn to disguise the pain
They talk about how
She could be so strong
When inside she's crying
Barely able to carry on
Yet she waits patiently
For the winds of change
Choosing not to let things
Get in her way
You know, sometimes
Its all too much to take
You feel like giving up
Being let down again and again
But hey, its never just you
And you don't have to be afraid
Because somewhere down the lane
We're all the same.
They see him laugh and sing
Playing his six strings
Not knowing that's how
He blanks out his feelings
Just because
He has it all
Doesn't mean he can't have the urge
To jump and fall
Behind that happy face
He's desperate for a place to hide
Trying not to fall apart
Though he's broken inside
You know, sometimes
Its all too much to take
You feel like giving up
Being let down again and again
But hey, its never just you
And you don't have to be afraid
Because somewhere down the lane
We're all the same.
