It's Simple

It's simple:

I laugh so you won't know that I'm dying.

I smile so you won't know that I'm crying.

I keep my mouth shut so you won't run. 

I pretend so you won't say "I'm done."

I stay since you are the only that can heal me.

I hide away my demons do they won't have a chance to be free.

I wear long sleeves shirts so nobody would have to worry.

I lie so you wouldn't waste your time trying to fix me.

You see, it's simple, as time go by because I don't feel as guilty for not telling you.

You see, it's simple, the fear that lives in me, tells me not to because I'm scare of what you would do.  

It's simple, I act happy so you can be.
