Happy faces, all around
Skipping feet, upon the ground
Laughter ringing through the air
Ribbons woven into girls' hair
Yes, smiling faces, but empty eyes
To you, I suppose, that is a surprise
That happy faces can hold so much pain
While they wait for their broken hearts to be broken again
Here, insecurities run wild
All these people, so easy to get riled
They go through so much every day
But they hide all their pain away
Constantly saying that they're OK
But, sadly, one day they'll pay
When they can no longer keep their feeling on hold
And slowly their hearts will turn cold
Freeze into stone
Leaving them alone
