they only love me when I'm happy

Nobody loves me when I'm sad
Even if I'm sad all the time

But they don't know what
they cannot see

To them, I'm always, always fine
and that's just who they think is me

Sometimes I believe it too
But then it's 4 in the morning

And my eyes cannot shut
my head cannot stop twisting,

I don't know what to do
other than stare above to the ceiling

Then when I finally feel more
than the empty blankness in my skin

The real sadness begins.

Don't worry, I won't slip
This is when I can paint the grin
and play the only part
I was destined.

People love me when I'm happy

Even if it is all pretend for me,
it is the truth to them
