You want all those around you
to be happy all the time
so you ignore your own needs
and tell others that you're fine

And slowly as time passes
your smile will decay
and what once made you happy
will start to melt away

Outside you are dancing
you keep the others pleased
it doesn't take much effort
you can do it all with ease

But inside you are hurting
and you wish that you would die
yet none of those that you have helped
bother to ask why
