happy, happy, don't forget to smile
i look at a picture of you and cry for a while
"it's getting better, it'll just take time"
i thought writing would fix it, therapeutic rhyme
laughter and jokes, memories and masks
a vision of myself, my heart needs a cast
smile, please, don't show your eyes glistening
then the voice comes back, a threat, just listen
"i'm doing fine, really, how are you?"
you forgot to mention breakdowns replacing breakthroughs
- maybe the hurt will fade away like you did
