Just because it never shuts its eyes
doesn't mean it has never felt tired.
Just because it never shuts its eyes
doesn't mean it has never cried.

The fish stays in water
so you can't see its tears.
The fish swims in quiet
so you can't feel its fears.

You and I are like the fishes;
We put on strong disguises.
But i can feel your fears
and you can see my tears.

You could try to hide
and i could try to deny.
But we know deep inside
lives a fish in silent cries.
