Behind that smile, lies my tears
Been trying to hide it for a long time ,
But it keeps coming back to me.
The hurt feels so fresh and near,
I can smell it so strong,
My eyes are heavy, ready to drop the tears,
Yet there is a urge to keep it locked up,
No one has to know how i feel,
Keeping it all behind my smile,
Behind my smile lies my pain.
Locked up in my smile is my grief ,
Down in my heart is my fears ,
Maybe i should let it out,
I just might find help if i decide to,
But it’s still locked up inside of me
Then i smile as the tears get closer to my eyes,
Behind my smile, lies my pain.
If you look close enough,
You just might be able to see through ,
It is not just a pretty smile,
It is more of an untold story,
Yet I am keeping it locked up in my smile,
Until I am sure it is a story to be shared,
Till then, it remains a song not yet sung,
Behind my smile, lies my pain.
