You’ll never see the pain behind her smile
Even though she’s been down for a while
She tries to act like nothing is wrong
But sometimes it’s hard to be so strong
She’ll never tell others what she has been through
Because she knows if she does exactly what they’ll do
They’ll start to judge her and it will be the end
Of ever calling any of them her friend
Why would they be if they knew
What it is that her parents do?
They always seem to be putting her down
And she feels like this sets her apart from the crowd
So she’ll never let her friends know about her pain
But if she did she’d be surprised by what she’d gain.
They have their own secrets too, although they’ll never tell
That they’ve all been through their own personal hell
It seems like they find each other without being in the know;
Like their personal pain helps their friendship to grow
So they all put up a wall and act like nothing is wrong
All while they sing the lyrics to the very same song
They pray for the day when the wall will go away
But until then they all have nothing to say
