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
