Put on a pretty smile,
Put on a pretty face,
And in a little while
I promise you'll be safe.

Hold on a little longer,
Keep on that pretty face,
Put on that perfect act,
And then it will be okay.

Don't trust a word they say,
It will never be okay,
It may get better,
And you may stay safe,

But truly,
We all have our demons to fight.

So hold on a little longer,
It will always get better,
The past won't go away.

It will make you stronger,
And then,
And only then,
Will it be okay.
