Behind every smile, I'm dying inside
With every laugh, I'm in pain
I look so happy, and I act like I enjoy life
But in truth, it's a burden, it's not worth the fight
My heart carries a weight, it's a burden too strong to bear
I feel trapped, with no way out, my pain is always here
It's hard to keep smiling, when I'm drowning in despair
But I do it anyway, cause I'm too tired to care
I act like everything's fine, like I have it all together
But in reality, I'm just trying to make it through the weather
So please forgive me, if I don't always seem like the happiest thing
Cause behind every smile, I'm dying inside, and with every laugh, I'm in pain
