She says she's fine Draws a smile from a line The secret thoughts inside All the feelings she hides Everything she wishes she could tell Every reason that she fell
She smiles her life way Through each and every day Wear the mask again Like when everything began Laugh like there is no pain Live to see what she can gain
Though she wears a happy face Her eyes are in a cold distant place She tries with all of her heart But she can't just be happy from the start It's going to take time She needs to let herself unwind.
She's trying to let it all out Teras on her face, for help she shouts A cry heard by seemingly no one But she son't give up; She's not done She'll try to fight the battle Hope to make the world rattle
To tell her story she strives Trying hard to stay alive But this is not what they see That's not who she's allowed to be Well, she's sorry, But her real life's a different story.
"Look inside and who will see What it's really like to be me" She cries out loud But she's silent in the crowd When will they understand This fallen girl needs a helping hand
The life you see day-to-day Is not the life she lives in every way That is a fake face, laugh, smile She's broken all the while Sorry, but you don't know the details gory Her real life is a different story.
