Have you ever laughed to keep from crying
Smiled to hide a frown?
Have you ever hid your eyes from someone you love
because they'd see that you're down?

Have you ever told jokes while crying inside
Put on a mask that covers your tears?
Have you ever been in a happy go lucky mood
Then suddenly hear a song that reiterates your fears?

Have you ever fallen off the emotional wall like humpty dumpty
Broken beyond repair?
Then stand up to put the pieces together
then look around and no one's there

Have you held pain in when it should come out
Ever try to distract yourself from the truth?
Ever say it's gonna be okay not believing it will
Has that ever happened to you?
