Just because I smile doesn't mean I don't hurt
  I got issues
  Got demons to battle
   Skeletons to hide
So just because I smile doesn't mean  am alright

Picture perfect, I was taught to always keep it picture perfect,
It hurts when you can tell nobody about the magma boiling on your inside
When every body sees perfection yet your constantly breaking down

Behind closed doors it all dawns on me
The smile I take off like a piece of jewelry
Then the darkness begins
I begin to battle
Battle with the truth
