I try to smile When I hurt inside I put on a brave face My tears, I try to hide From the outside You may not see my fear I try my best to fight it So you don't see me shed a tear I may not look crippled You may not see me bleed But inside a war is raging Inside I beg and plead Please, please just help me Please see through the facade See that my eyes betray me Please see the pain inside I'm not happy, it's just an act Please can you see? I don't want to be so broken Please just set me free
