Hiding Behind a Smile

Behind my smile I'm so hurt, so angry Can't really tell I hide it well But when the Spot light stop shining and the Doors start closing Pain rushes back to me A feeling I don't like I hide behind my smile well Curtains back up Spot light shining Place my smile back on Now I'm hiding So I pretend to be a person I'm not Hiding from reality Hiding from all the hurt and the pain Hiding But once again the curtains close and All those feelings Come rushing back But now I have To take center stage So now I begin my final act All smiles one the outside But deep down inside I'm crying No one can tell I'm a great performer Once again I hide behind my smile Curtains down for awhile now Smiles replaced with a frown So ends my final act But just for a little while 'Cuz I know my Audience will be back And when that happens I will begin my act “Hiding Behind A Smile”
