hidden

everyday i wake up on a sunny morning..
i should wake up with a smile
but i feel my eyes burning
they thought they see me strong
but they never knew the truth i am hiding

i smile, i laugh and live like there is nothing wrong
they thought i am made of steel
that i approach every battles headstrong
but little did they know deep inside
my heart is singing a very sad song

maybe i am just good at pretending
that things in my life are okay
maybe i just know when to set aside my troubles
my heartaches at bay
but little did they know
everynight i struggle wishing somehow my sadness will go away

if only the world will see me and see my heart.
if only they look closely and see that
at the back of a happy facade
i am like a house falling apart.
how i wish they knew..

how i wish they knew and see that
i am in pain..
because i am tired crying in the rain
how i wish they knew me well..
