Walking past her
You see her bright smile
Talking to her
You hear the peaceful sounds
Of her laughter
She seems happy right?
Wrong
She smiles to hide the tears
She laughs to hide the pain
She is broke
She is torn
The hurt is almost
Unbearable
You think she's happy
Because she hides
Under a mask
A mask that hides the pain
Hides the tears
And the heartbreak
You see her smile
You hear her laugh
But let me ask you
Have you heard her cry
Have you asked if she's alright
Have you for one second
Thought about looking
Underneath the mask
