I smile to hide the pain away
I laugh to hide the sorrow
I lie awake in bed at night
Fearing tomorrow
Another day of hiding
The way I feel inside
Putting on the mask again
So others think Iā€™m fine
I know Iā€™m not alone at all
I have my family
But no one knows how hard it is
To show my anxieties
So I smile to hide the pain away
And no one wants to see
