She was good at saying she was fine because in the mirror she practiced that line She was good at faking a smile although it took a while She was good at being strong even when everything felt wrong But late at night the mask would fade tears would fall the price she paid For every time she said she’s fine A piece of her broke deep inside

She was good at pretending
She was good at saying she was fine because in the mirror she practiced that line She was good at faking a smile although it took a while She was good at being strong even when everything felt wrong But late at night the mask would fade tears would fall the price she paid For every time she said she’s fine A piece of her broke deep inside
