Smile.
Laugh for them.
You're the happy friend.
The one they look to for comfort.
Did it ever occur to them that you need that too?
Smile.
Laugh for them.
You're a mess, control yourself.
The one who does it all wrong.
Did it ever occur to them that you end up failing?
Smile.
Laugh for them.
You can't show them that it bottles up.
That you break down.
Did it  ever occur to them that you want to give up?
Smile.
Laugh for them.
You're just a facade, keep it covered.
The fact that you cry, is something you hide.
Did it ever occur to them that you try so hard?
But it doesn't work.
