Happy face

i put on a happy face

to get through the day

i don't want people to know

the pain behind my eyes

iv hidden for so long scared to face what i will become

its my shield to hide behind

my happy face will always be there

no one will know what iv been through

fake smiles and fake laughs

get me through the day

they stop the questions asked by so many

the pain has been burned in me and it will no go away

iv hidden for so long scared to face what i will become

its my shield to hide behind

my happy face will always be there

no one will know what iv been through

living day to day with a dark cloud over my shoulder

it just wont go away no matter what i do

it brings me down but i wont give up

fighting this cloud is what im living for

iv hidden for so long scared to face what i will become

its my shield to hide behind

my happy face will always be there

no one will know what iv been through

they hurt me more than they will ever know

i laugh along to hide what its doing to me

if only they know what was going on in my head

would they stop the insults or just carry on

iv hidden for so long scared to face what i will become

its my shield to hide behind

my happy face will always be there

no one will know what iv been through

it hurts me to know they don't care

but they cant care if they don't know

i like to stay hidden away from them

when im with me only then can i be myself

iv hidden for so long scared to face what i will become

its my shield to hide behind

my happy face will always be there

no one will know what iv been through

my only way to be free is to hide from reality

i don't want the pain to be there

but it wont go away, its tearing me apart

its too late for me to survive
