Smiling With Grace
Breathing in deep
Tearful thoughts of you
Slowly letting air out
My tears show through
Slipping down my cheek
One by one
My eyes will be stained
By the time my crying is done
Crying in my pillow
Trying not to make a peep
Sobbing from these thoughts
Through my pillow these tears will seep
All alone I cry
By myself upstairs
Thinking in my head
No one really cares
Forcing myself to stop
I wipe away my tears
Wash my face and put on a smile
The same fake smile I've had for years
I walk down the stairs
With that fake smile on my face
According to you
I walk, smiling with grace
You'll never know the truth
You don't need to know my pain
You are the one that hurts me
You use my name in vain
I can't take this any longer
I need to say goodbye
The pain, the tears
This fake smile has to die
And so I say goodbye
The weight lifted from my chest
No longer having to deal with you
And my mind can finally rest
