smile, laugh
like nothings the matter
but do your friends
see past your defence
yes, they do
dose your family
see past your mask
yes, they do
they try to help
oh, they try very hard
but when they ask you
if something's wrong
you brush it of
saying everything's okay
you try harder with the mask
you try to put up a better defence
but they see thought it
time and time again
one day you hope
to be able to show nothing
to feel nothing
but then
all you would become
is just
an empty shell
