Fake Smile

My heart is too small to store so many sorrows
It turns into sad songs when my heart overflows

Oh my eyes are too small to store so much tears
They fall down like monsoon rain years after years

My life seems too short to make it worthwhile
I have to keep on my face a fake smile

I am so poor no one wants to be my wife
Oh my hopes are too few to lengthen my life
