paint the pretty smile,
to hide a broken heart,
laughing loud and clear,
yet falling apart,
sleeping but awake,
walking but standing still,
bending till I break,
holding on until,
forever, until you leave,
my heart, my home,
until i can again believe,
in what they say is love,
yet i'll paint the pretty smile,
even if i'm dying inside,
if you think you can see everything,
it's everything that i hide,
you brought me down so hard,
and locked me in a place,
where my past is a dream,
and my future i can't face,
even though i'm wounded,
and bleeding, and crying,
i still have my faith,
i'll never stop trying.
