teach me how to smile when ever it hurts
you mask the pain so well
help me learn to look just as calm as you
it's even hard for me to tell
that you suffer beneath that cool exterior
but i know that you do
or do you... what if you are really fine
and it's never bothered you

take me out and show me how
to pretend that i'm alright
you're so good at hiding it
the rotting inside
you laugh and you glow
no one could even guess
how do you do it
i've been such a mess

i'm getting kind of scared
that you aren't like me
that you are okay
and you aren't faking
how could you be fine
when i am broken
i miss you so much
that it's almost hopeless
