Sometimes it's too hard
To pretend I'm happy
Sometimes I want to break down
Regardless of my company

But my mask
Always falls into place
The moment this emptiness
Starts to grow

I push you away
Avoid talking to you
And isolate myself
From the things that make me happy

I'm sorry for that
I don't know what else to do
You shouldn't have to see me
When I can't smile

I'll be strong for you
And avoid showing weakness
So the image you have of me
Isn't burned away
By the demons in my mind
