I smile yet the tears are what i hide
They see the smile, not the pain inside
Sometimes all i tell people is "i'm okay"
It seems like the easiest thing to say
To tell them the truth would have me break
And thats not a chance i'm willin to take
So lie to the world with a smile and a wave
Hide the truth until i'm in my grave
I'll cry my way to the heavens above
Thinking all the time of the ones i love
Wishing they could have all known
About the pain i was dealing with on my own
But depression's a monster alive in me
No-one believes i'm sick coz they just cant see
It ain't on the outside so they say it ain't real
People just dont understand the pain i feel
So at the moment i'm in a losing fight
Not showing my tears until the dark of night..
