The Mask of Life

Masking all my feelings and trying to make you think it's alright
Whatever makes you sleep at night
I'll hold your hand
Listen to your problem's, you know I'll understand

I cannot break down
Can never where a frown
I can't be blue
Because
I have to be strong for you

 

Smiling when inside I'm crying
Laughing when I'm really dying
Acting fine when I'm falling apart
Trying to love with a broken heart

 

I fight back as the tears begin to rise
Though I know everyone cries
I'm at a loss for words
All I know is this hurts
I just don't want you to worry
Though it's a heavy burden to carry
Having to be the strong one
To bring you happiness when I feel as though I have none

 

Smiling when inside I'm crying
Laughing when I'm really dying
Acting fine when I'm falling apart
Trying to love with a broken heart

 

My heart's like a suitcase that won't close
It's because of the path I chose
I should never have went this way
Kept my emotions inside where they now always stay
I chose to hide all my pain and strife
And put on the mask of life
