A smile for them but breaking inside
They never see the tears I hide
The world keeps spinning fast and cold
And I'm just here growing old
No one knows the wars I fight
In silent rooms alone at night
They see the calm but not the cries
Behind these quiet distant eyes
I laugh on cue, I play the part
But silence echoes in my heart
They think I'm strong, they never see
The weight of what's been lost in me
No one knows the wars I fight
In silent rooms alone at night
They see the calm but not the cries
Behind these quiet distant eyes
If someone looked a little deep
Would they still turn and let me bleed?
Or would they stay and gently say
You don't have to hide that way
No one knows, but I still hope
Someone might break this heavy rope
And see the truth I never show
That deep inside I'm letting go
