i look so happy
but can you see
the real me
that lives deep inside
it's crying
it's screaming
it wants one thing
it wants to be heard
but i cover it up
i lock it away
i put on a fake smile
that i keep on all day
the real me has gone away
no one knows
cause no one can see
the secrets held inside of me
dieing inside
yet i look so happy
if only you knew
then you would see
i'm not the same girl
you see in me
that perky, happy, excited girl
no that's not me, not me at all
this life is dull
there's no place for me
it was fine for a while
now no one can see
i keep my darkness
i keep it shut away
i don't want to spread it
it would hurt people's days
some people
live life so well
i live it poorly
i must dwell
days pass by
with me living like this
no one can see
what life's like for me
ntohing i do
makes any difference to you
every day is the same
they're all so lame
i'm dieing inside
i don't want to reside
life's difficult for me
but no one can see
