Defeated,
Devoid,
Beaten down
By many an expectation.

I've lost myself amongst the ruins
That are my life
I've lost
My will
To smile as
 The river runs dry

It hurts 
to be
with people who think
I've got what it takes
I know this isn't 
How it's gonna 
Always be

Sometimes I feel so aalone
That all I do is cry
Sometimes I can't even feel 
How it feels to be happy inside
But I smile through all the pain
Swallow all the shame
I'll laugh all the same...
Oh..
I'll laugh all the same

Do you see?
How this ends?
I can't even try to pretend
To feel
The happiness everyone else
Thinks is real

I feel empty 
I feel tired
I feel so undesired

But I smile through all the pain
Swallow all the shame
I'll laugh all the same..oh
I'lll laugh all the same

But I smile through all the pain
Swallow all the shame
I'll laugh all the same.
