I dry my eyes so you can't see

what I have hidden deep inside of me

I put on a mask that I wear through the day

the sharp pains in my heart is the price I pay

I hide behind a smile that later becomes a frown

so that nobody ever sees me when I get down

when I get home and am alone in my room

cause I know that I can't hide it anymore

the tears fall and shatter like glass

everything in my life starts to crash

that remains silent and completely unseen

so I break and cry myself to sleep again

until the morning when I have to pretend
