When we're young we think our parents are heroes , kings , queens , everything they pretend to be just to put a smile on our faces

And then we grow up

We see the truth beneath everything and we though they were magical , perfect-

We grow up , we learn that they are just human , humans who make mistakes and are fragile and breakable. They are the very meaning of human.
As long as the melody of my voice plays in you , dance to it ,feel it, before it fades away.


Before I do.
Open your eyes , darling
Look around at everything
Your eyes are still closed
Your ears , they dont hear a thing

Because you live in the world of dreams
Where everything is what it seems
What you see is what you get
Everything around you , you believe

Open your eyes , for you to understand
Look at the dark land
You must see
That the world isn't what it used to be

Because what you see isnt what you get
Look at the depth
Of the secrets hidden
That you have forgotten
Tears fall
Chin up
Fake a smile

A smile that paints a thousand words
A smile that hides a thousand  wounds
A smile that hides  the secrets beneath

Put on a smile and show the world
That you're OK
Show to them that you 're strong
Even though inside you're crumbling down

Fake a smile until you're okay
Until  the wounds have healed
And the pain has faded
And until your heart has mended
One day people will leave
And you'll just have  to let go
When they decide that the happiness you bring
just isn't enough
You'll just have to let go

It won't be easy
Because you loved that person with all your heart
You'll feel anger , sadness and resentment
But one day you'll learn to let go

And one day you'll understand
That they did that because they're unhappy
And they just want to be free
You'll understand.

Im not saying it won't be easy
But you just have to understand
That maybe its just not meant to be
And finally you , yourself will be free.
The sadness you don't see
The sadness you don't know
The sadness that I'll never show

I hide beneath these shadows  and smiles
Underneath these  lies
Is a sad little girl , confused and dazed

Why she's this way
A secret that will never be uncovered
Hidden away like the dark side of the moon

You can try to find the key
To her heart , the crying sea
And heal her wounds and break her free
The memories my mind hold
These scenes , can't be told
It's between you and me

The promises we keep
The promises we broke
The risks we made

They hold me back from the future
Iron hold in the past
These chains that bind me

I wanna break out
Wanna let go
But I can't let these feelings show.
