A smile can be deceiving.

Is he just trying to hide?

Hide what he's really feeling?

On the other side.

The other side of that smile.

Is a boy, who doesnt want to walk another mile.

With this pain he's carrying.

But he doesnt want people to start worrying.

So he wears that smile.

That deceiving smile.

A smile that hides the depression.

He doesnt want you to know.

So dont bother with the question.

"Are you okay?"

He will just play.

When his insides really are gray.

That deceiving smile will appear again.

A smile that insists.

You will never know.

On the inside he is dying.

On the inside he is crying.

When he uses that smile so deceiving.
